Cucumber Sweet Pickles

Use overripe cucumbers only!

For every pound of cucumbers, allow 3 pounds of sugar and 1 quart of vinegar.

Let the cucumbers soak overnight in salt and water, then scald them in weak soft vinegar, sugar, cinnamon and cloves.

Boil a little, then put in the cucumbers and scald them until transparent, not soft.

These pickles are for overripe cucumbers only.
