Great Grandma Rosamund Sudweeks’ Million Dollar Sweet Pickles



25 cucumbers put to soak in a salt brine strong enough to float an egg. Keep in brine 5 days. Take out and wash, cut in pieces. Cover with cold water and put in 2 teaspoons of powdered alum. Let stand overnight. Drain and put into jars.
Take 1 quart vinegar, 2 quarts sugar, 2 sticks cinnamon, 1 Tbsp. whole cloves. Boil syrup every morning for 5 days.
Pour syrup over cucumber slices and process.
