## Editor's Notes
- **"Alum"** — alum (potassium aluminum sulfate) was used in old pickle recipes to keep pickles crisp. Modern canning authorities no longer recommend it, and it adds nothing to safety. Any home-canned pickles should be processed according to current tested guidelines, because "seal while hot" alone does not guarantee a safe product. -

## Editor's Notes
- **"piece of alum size of walnut"** — Alum (potassium alum or aluminum sulfate) was historically used as a crisping agent in home pickle recipes. Modern food safety guidance advises against using alum in pickles, as it can cause gastrointestinal distress. The USDA no longer recommends alum in home canning. Readers should be aware of this risk.
- **"pickling spices (hot)"** — The parenthetical "(hot)" most likely refers to hot/spicy pickling spice blend rather than temperature, and is transcribed accordingly. -
