Best Ever Cucumber Sweet Pickles - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    fresh cucumbers (firm and a good size for pickle)
Preparation
    Slice, strip, chunk, halve or crinkle cut; whichever you want. Pack quart jars fairly tight.
    To each jar, add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon alum.
    Fill jar with cider vinegar to cover.
    Apply tops.
    No need to sterilize.
    Just be new and clean.
    That's the easy part!
    Now, put away for 5 to 6 months, even a year.
    The curing process doesn't take that long actually.
    They are ready when rusty green.
    To make off:
    Turn jars upside down in sink (top removed) to drain.
    Drain 5 to 6 hours or longer.
    Invert jars; fill with sugar (right out of the bag) as much as jar will hold. Apply tops and shake, shake, shake until sugar dissolves.
    You will need to do this approximately 3 times until enough syrup to completely cover cucumbers.
    When this is accomplished, add per quart, 1 teaspoon celery seed and 1 teaspoon whole allspice.
    Apply tops and shake, shake.
    That's it.
    Let sit a few days.
    Simply delicious.
