Wash the cucumbers and dry thoroly. If they are of assorted size pack the small ones in jars by themselves, halve the medium ones lengthwise, and the large ones, quarter lengthwise. Pack in sterilized jars. Cover with the following solution:
1 scant tablespoonful of saccharin powder
1 tablespoon of powdered alum
1/2 cupful of salt
5 tablespoonfuls of ground mustard
1 tablespoonful of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoonful of ground cloves
1 teaspoonful of allspice
1 cupful of ground horseradish
1 gallon of cider vinegar
Blend together the saccharin, alum, salt, mustard, and spices. Add the horseradish and vinegar, mix well and pour over the jars of cucumbers, keeping the mixture well stirred. Seal and store.
