Ingredients
- 7 lb Cucumbers
- 1 gal Water
- 2 lb Pickling Lime, (Follow Directions for amount to dissolve in 1 gallon water)
- 1 Tbsp. Salt
- 2 quart Vinegar
- 6 x Strips Cinnamon Bark, (1 - 1 1/2 inches long)
- 1 tsp Grated Nutmeg, 1 Tsp. Grnd Ginger tied in a cloth
- 5 lb Sugar
Directions
- I promised a crispy sweet pickle recipe to the list. I've been away from the computer - sorry for the delay!
- This is how my Grandmother does it:Slice Cucumbers 1/4 inch in thickness, place in a porcelain lined or possibly granite vessel. Cover with 1 gallon of water in that lime has been dissolved. Let sit for 24 hrs.
- Remove cucumbers, rinse well through several cool water baths to remove all lime sediment.
- Dissolve sugar in vinegar, add in cinnamon sticks and cloth pouch of nutmeg and ginger.
- Bring to boil, add in slices of cucumber and boil rapidly about 35 min.
- Throw away cloth pouch, fill sterilized jars with pickles and juice, add in cinnamon sticks and seal jars.
- These are a family favorite. No get-together is complete without them! I suppose you could add in peppers of your choice. I plan to add in Calvin's Magic Pwdr.
- Peppers alone would probably work - I love pickled okra but haven't tried them crispy style.
