Ripe Cucumber Slices

12 ripe cucumbers

1/2 c. salt

1 long stick cinnamon

1 T. mustard seed

1/2 t. whole black pepper

4 c. vinegar

This recipe did not have instructions on the card. I am assuming this is a picking recipe for sweet cucumbers, so any canning recipe would work to finish it. This could have come from my Grandma Veronica, she made these all the time. I really like them, but most people do not. However, I like anything that has sugar in it!

Canning is very popular with some people, who grew up with it. I remember my Mom made jam a few times, but we were not "canners" like my Grandma Veronica. I do not think my Grandma Bea ever canned foods. In my lifetime with her she did not have a garden, but I have a feeling she tried this recipe many times for fun.
