Sweet Cucumber Pickles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

enough cucumbers to fill a gal. jug
2 Tbsp. salt
apple cider vinegar (enough to cover)
4 to 5 lb. sugar
2 drops oil of cloves
2 drops cinnamon

Preparation

Gather enough cucumbers, any size, to fill a gallon size jug. Wash the cucumbers and then stand them up whole in the jug.
Fill the jug full of cucumbers.
Add salt (use plain salt).
Cover the cucumbers with apple cider vinegar.
Tie a cloth over the mouth of the jar and leave for 6 weeks.
At the end of 6 weeks, wash the cucumbers thoroughly in cold water, making sure to rinse them good. Dry the cucumbers with paper towels and then slice the cucumbers into round slices and put them back in the gallon jug.
Put sugar over the top of the cucumbers; this sugar will melt and form a liquid.
Add oil of cloves and cinnamon, both of which can be purchased at the local drug store.
Do not seal the jug.
They will keep all year in the jug.
Just keep them in their liquid so they will stay crisp.
