This is one of the first recipes my Aunt Joyce put into our family cookbook.
BRINE:
1 qt. white vinegar
3 qt. water
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. pickling salt
Slice cucumbers lengthwise, including the small ones; pack into jars with onions and hear of dill, and clove of garlic. Boil brine and pour over pickles, then seal the jars. Put in oven 1 hour at 200°. Brine should not boil.
