From Unc's Kitchen

Now, I know all you young whippersnappers are poking around my pantry looking for some of my special lemonade. Well, you aint gettin any. Instead, we're making pickles again. This is a simple recipe for dills. They're easy and a damn fine pickle, too.

Boil and cool:
1 qt. cider vinegar
3 qts. water
1 cup salt
1 T. alum

Put cucumbers in jars ( wide mouth quarts probably best) with a dill head and a clove of garlic.
Pour cooled liquid over cukes and cap jars.
Best in about a month.

Soon it will be time to start preparing the feast for the Equinox. Stay tuned.
