This is the recipe my wife uses . After their finshed she chops them up and uses them in chicken salad and potatoe salad .
1 day
slice cucumber and layer in container with salt in between each layer . Boil water and pour over them until completely covered . Let them set for 24 hours .
2 day
Take them out of salt and water and rinse . Layer them with alum sprinkled in between each layer .Pour boiling water over them until covered . Let them set for 24 hours .
3 day
Rinse them well and cover them with boiling water . Let them set for 24 hours .
4 day
Pour water off them . Bring enough vinigar and pickling spice to a boil to completely cover them . Let them set for 4 days .
After 4 days pour vinigar and spice off , but do not rinse . Layer them sugar in between each layer . Sugar will melt in about 2 weeks and should completely cover pickles . Sample for sweetness if needed add more sugar .
