Repeat for three mornings, then seal. ## 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.
