Pickles In A Jar
Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash cucumbers and pack whole in a glass gallon jug.
- Add canning salt, white vinegar, alum, and mixed pickling spices
- If jar is not full, top off with cold water. Put lid on jar and let stand on cabinet for three weeks.
- Drain. Cut cucumbers into chunks, slices or strips as desired. Return to jar. Add 8 cups sugar, or less according to taste (Elba uses four cups, Dorothy Phillips uses six). Let stand on cabinet top 3 to 4 days, until sugar dissolves to make its own juice. Store in the refrigerator. Add a bud of garlic in the bottom of the jar to add more flavor, if desired.
