Put 1/2 box alum in enough warm water to cover cucumbers, let stay overnight. Pour off and then pour vinegar over and let sit 6 hours. Pour off. Place a layer of pickles and a layer of sugar until they are all covered. Tie pickling spice in a thin cloth and place in middle of churn. Cover and use as needed. Sugar will melt.
