Cucumbers or Other Small Pickles

2 gallons vinegar. 3 tablespoonfuls ginger. 2 tablespoonfuls celery-seed. 1 tablespoonful cinnamon. 2 tablespoonfuls turmeric. 1 tablespoonful horseradish. 1 tablespoonful garlic. 2 tablespoonfuls pepper. 1 teaspoonful cloves. 1 teaspoonful of mace. 1 teaspoonful of allspice; all the spices must be pulverized.

Add the garlic and horseradish when cold. Add two pounds sugar, which must be boiled in the vinegar and poured over the spices. One teaspoonful red pepper will improve it. Boil the vegetables in plain vinegar before putting in the spiced vinegar.

Gherkins and snaps are made in the same way as cucumbers.--Mrs. S.
