  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   7      c             Cucumber -- sliced
   2      ga            Water
   2      c             Dry lime

Mix the lime, water, and cucumbers in container. I use a plastic
bucket with good results. Let stand 24 hours. Then, wash at least
5 times in cold water, and cover with fresh water. Let stand for
3 hours and drain. Add 1/2 gallon vinegar minus one cup, 4 cups
sugar, and 1 tb salt. Mix well. Add cucumbers and let stand for
another 24 hours. Heat for 35 minutes, place in jars and seal.

Notes:

Lime pickles are delicious, firm and crisp. You may add a few drops
of green coloring if you desire a brighter color. Use a wide mouth
jar if possible as these pickles are very firm and do not bend
easily.
