Mrs. R. J. Neely
1 gallon of cucumbers, cut up,
1 quart of vinegar,
2 ounces of turmeric,
1/4 pound of ground mustard,
6 teacups of white sugar,
2 scant cups of flour,
1/2 teaspoon of red pepper,
2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon,
1 tablespoon of mace,
2 ground nutmegs,
1/2 teacup of mustard seed,
2 tablespoons of celery seed,
1 quart of small onions,
1 head of cauliflower.
Use white spine cucumbers, and sprinkle with salt and let them lie over night. If cucumbers are in brine, soak a day and night before using.
Heat the ingredients in the 1 quart of vinegar and let the flour thicken the mixture. Add 2 quarts of vinegar, previously heated, and pour over cucumbers. Seal in stone jars; ready for use. It is better to cook both onions and cauliflower a little before putting in vinegar with the spices.
