Sweet Pickles

Add and let simmer for 6 minutes:
about 3 large cucumbers, sliced
If you cn't get the slices in the saucepan all at once, cook a portion and
take them out with a slottted spoon, then cook the rest. Pack into a jar or
jars, top with the juice from the saucepan and chill. You may can these if
you wish or simply prepare them as needed in batches this size. Makes about
1 quart.
Variation: During the cooking , add 1 small onion, sliced and separated into
rings, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, and 1 tsp. mustard seeds for bread-and-butter
style pickles.
