Sweet Pickles
Take ripe cucumbers, pare them, cut out the seeds, cut in strips, soak in brine twenty-four hours; then put them in vinegar and water, equal parts; after having done this put them in sweetened vinegar, the same as any sweet pickle, and cook until tender; one quart vinegar, three pounds coffee sugar, one tablespoon ground cinnamon, tie it up in a cloth, also a few whole cloves, and boil all together until clear and done; this receipt would require twelve ordinary sized ripe cucumbers.
