Pickles Without Vinegar

In places where vinegar cannot be readily obtained, cucumbers and other articles for pickling may be made sour as follows: Take one quart of good alcohol to four quarts of water; put the cucumbers in fresh from the vines. Wipe them first with a wet cloth, or wash and drain them. Put in a warm place until fit for the table, then keep them in a cellar, or a cool place. They remain hard and green; and are always ready for the table.
