Picked Cucuns5ers IN iSunsuser.-
1t is often desirable to have new
pickles in summer time, and after
sliced cucumbers have.ceased to be a
novelty, the small ones picked are
an agreeable change. They can be
made at short notice by the follow
ing method: Cover 100 small cucum
bers with a pint Of salt, and add q
small piece of alum. Then pour boil
ing water over them, and keep closely
covered few hours. Take them out,
wipe dry and lay in Jars with few
red peppers, allspice, tablespoonful
Of mustard seed. pepper corn and
cloves. These condiments may be
varied or changed to suit the taste.
Then pour over the whole sufficient
hot vinegar to cover the pickles.
When old, they will be ready for the
table and as green and fresh looking
as when picked. Cucumbers picked
early in the morning may be made
ready for tea the same afternoon,
which is often desirable considera-
ton to housewives. Pickles made
thus will keep any length Of time
