Name: Sweet Pickles #2
Ingredients: 7 lb Sliced cucumbers; about 1/4-inch thick; 2 ga Water; 3 c Lime; 5 lb Sugar; 2 qt Cider vinegar; 1/2 ts Oil of cinnamon; 1/2 ts Oil of cloves; 2 ts Celery seed; 2 ts Mustard seed; 5 ts Salt

Although we must insist that, because of who we are and who God is, our prayers do not change God's mind, it is right for us to understand that God has ordained that prayer "changes things." The design of prayer is not that the immutable will of God be altered, but that His will may be accomplished in His own good time and way. Our prayers are not intended to change the purpose of God or to move him to create new purposes. God has not only decreed the end of all things, but He also has decreed the means to reach that end. Thus, it is improper for us to say that, because God is sovereign and is in control of all things, certain things will happen whether we pray or not. That must be absolutely rejected because God has ordained that prayer be the means to accomplish His purpose.

Soak cucumbers overnight in water & lime. Next morning, wash cucumbers well
& soak in ice water for 3 hours. In the meantime, make a syrup of the rest
of the ingredients. (You may tie the celery & mustard seed in a piece of
cheesecloth so the seeds will not be in your pickles later, if desired.)

sterilized, hot jars. Be sure & cover the cucumbers with syrup after
putting them into jars. This recipe makes over 10 pints.
