Put good unbroken cucumbers in a cask or jar in alternate layers with coarse salt i inch thick; cover with cabbage or horse- radish leaves, then with a board and a weight, and pour 1 quart water over. Fresh layers of cucumbers and salt may be added, picking the fruit in the morning or evening. When nearly full, tuck a cloth tight over the top, cover with the board and weight, and they will keep in the brine 1 or 2 years. Take out as they are wanted to use, skimming the brine and washing cloth and board before replacing. To use the pickles, soak 3 days in, fresh water, changing it daily, put in a kettle with a lump of alum, cover with good vinegar, and bring to the boil; throw away this vinegar and finish pickling according to any recipe liked.
