My MIL shared this recipe with me 30 years ago and taught me how to can & freeze.This recipe is a family favorite & is being passed generation to generation. Don't let the process scare you,the pickles are well worth the effort. Delicious in potato or tuna salad. Great on burgers. I make a pickle tray for covered dish dinners and these are the first to go and they receive many compliments. I think people like them because they are crisp. Ingredients:
7 pints sliced cucumbers |
2 cups pickling lime |
4 lbs sugar |
7 cups white vinegar |
1 tablespoon salt |
2 tablespoons pickling spices |
ice cold water |
Directions:
1. DO NOT use aluminum pot.
2. Soak sliced cucmubers in lime water (use enough water to cover cucumbers) for 24 hours.
3. Drain& rinse well.
4. Soak cucumbers in ice water (use enough water to cover cucumbers) for 3 hours.
5. Mix vinegar, sugar, salt& spices.
6. Soak cucumbers in this mixture for 24 hours Bring mixture to a boil& cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
