Crisp Cucumber Pickles
7 lb. cucumbers
4 1/2 lb. sugar
2 qt. pure apple vinegar
1 tbsp. salt
3 tbsp. pickling spice
Soak cucumbers in lime 24 hours. Use 3 cups of
lime to 1 gallon
of water. After 24 hours rinse and
soak 4 hours in cold water,
changing water every hour.
We like to have real big cucumbers
even beginning to
turn yellow. Peel, slice and cut the seeds
out. Make
pickle sticks as tall as a pint jar. Bring sugar,
spices,
and vinegar to a boil in large stainless steel boiler.
Add cucumbers and bring to a boil. Boil slowly for
an hour. The
pickles are somewhat better if allowed
to stay in the boiler
overnight, brought back to a
boil in the morning can and seal,
covering the cucumbers
with the vinegar and sugar mixture. Seal
in sterilized jars.
