7 lb. cucumbers
2 c. lime
2 gal. water
2 qt. vinegar
4 lb. sugar
1 tsp. celery seed
1 tbsp. whole cloves
1 tbsp. pickling spices
5 drops green food coloring

Wash and cut cucumbers into slices. Pour 2 cups of lime mix with 2 gallons of water over cucumbers. Leave for 24 hours. Take out and rinse 3 times in tap water and let stand in ice water for 3 hours. Bring to boil the vinegar, sugar, celery seed, cloves, spices and food coloring. Add cucumbers and boil for 35 minutes.

Pack in jars and pour juice over pickles. (Place cucumbers in a crock jar or churn when soaking in lime mixture for best results.)
