This old recipe for celery pickles or icicle pickles is from a notebook my Grandma Ida (born in 1906) kept of her favorite recipes. The top of the recipe has the name Susan who I believe was a friend of my grandmothers. This old recipe is probably from the 1930s or 1940s.

Wash long pickles and put in cold water or ice water over night. Then cut in 2 or 4 pieces and pack in jar.

Put between long pieces of celery and small pieces of onions till jar is filled as close as possible.

Boil.

1 cup sugar
3/4 cups salt
3-1/2 cups vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon alum

and pour over - heat and seal.
