Dill Pickles

Myrtle Leipper

50 cucumbers
mustard seed
celery seed
bay leaves
pickling spice
dill
5 quarts water
1 cup salt
2 cups vinegar
1/2 teaspoon mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon pickling spice
1 large piece of dill in each (quart)

Bring water salt and vinegar to boiling point. Fill cucumber filled jars and seal.

In the original recipe, the ingredients were in one long list. I think Grandma Leipper meant for each jar to have the measured amounts of spices. - DLL
