Pickles Mixed

Thirty large cucumbers cut in pieces, two large heads cauliflower, two quarts small onions, four quarts small cucumbers, half a pint white mustard seed, one-half cup ground black pepper, one-half cup cinnamon, one cup tumeric; pack pickles, cauliflower and onions in salt over night, take one cup salt and mix through them, they will make their own brine. In the morning drain them out and put them in fresh water and soak for a day or two; change the water twice a day until they are fresh enough, then drain very dry, put in a large jar, putting the spice in alternately with the other ingredients. Then boil six quarts vinegar with three pounds brown sugar and pour over while hot. Do this three mornings in succession.
