Cucumber Sweet Pickle

Pare large seed cucumbers and cut in strips. Remove the seeds, wash thoroughly, then soak for four days in salt and water, changing every day. Soak the cucumbers in alum water one day and drain over night. For seven pounds of cucumbers, take three pounds of sugar, one ounce cinnamon, two ounces cloves, one grated nutmeg, one tablespoon ginger, one quart vinegar. Put the spices in a bag. Boil together for fifteen minutes or more. It is best to watch carefully and remove each piece when clear.
