Take large ripe cucumbers before they become soft; cut in rings, pare, divide in smaller pieces and remove the seeds; cook the pieces very slightly in water salted just enough to flavor well. Drain and put in a stone jar. Prepare a vinegar as follows: 2 Pounds of sugar to 2 quarts of vinegar, a few slices of onion, some cayenne pepper, whole allspice, whole cloves, cinnamon, according to one's taste. Much cooking injures the pickle very much. The pieces should be firm and admit a silver fork with difficulty when taken from the fire, Mrs. Fred Baumer.
