Ice Pickles from Mrs. Ted Pankratz

This recipe is from the collection of my great grandmother Viola Widmann Weigel.

Cut pickles length wise in quarters. Put in ice water for 2 hours with no salt. Slice 1 large onion in bottom of each can, 1 scant teaspoon celery seed, 1 teaspoon mustard seed, then pack in cucumbers which have been chilled.

1 quart vinegar

1/2 cup salt

1 cup sugar

Boil. Pour over hot and seal. Put a little alum in each can the size of a pea. You can put a piece a piece of celery in each can if you like.
