RIPE CUCUMBER PICKLE.

Pare and scrape out the inside of the cucumber; put in a weak brine for twenty-four hours. Make a syrup of sugar and vinegar; boil a few slices of the cucumber at a time in this, until they look clear. When the cucumbers are all cooked, boil down the syrup and pour over them.
