How to make easy sweet pickles:

Add box of alum to water to cover sliced cucumbers (let stand overnight). Drain and pour 1 gallon of vinegar over cucumbers. Let stand at least 6 hours. Drain off vinegar (save for another batch). Put layer of cucumbers in crock or churn. Add sugar and pickling spices. Keep layering until all are covered with sugar and spices. These can be eaten after 5 days. Better if they stand longer.
