Soak cucumbers in clear cold water overnight. In the morning lay on towel to dry. Then, pack into glass jars with dill. Place a grape leaf on top if you'd like.
Make a brine of 3 quarts of water and 1 cup salt. Boil
Add 1 pint of vinegar and 1/2 tsp powdered alum. Pour hot brine over pickles and seal.

My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.
