PICKLES
PICKLES Put fresh cucumbers in warm brine and let stand 24 hours, then dry them with a towel and put them in a stone jar. Put in a layer of the cucumbers, then a layer of horseradish cut lengthwise, with a few grape or bay leaves. Take vinegar enough to cover the pickles, season with brown sugar and mixed spices to taste; heat to boiling point, skim and pour over pickles. Repeat heating vinegar 3 mornings. Cover with grape or bay leaves and tie up for use. Pickles put up this way will keep all winter.
