Don't be put off by the steps involved in making these pickles. It is not really hard at all, just takes a few minutes of planning time to work out the cooking when it is best for your schedule. The end results are well worth the effort. People do not believe that these are cucumber pickles. Most people think they are cinnamon apple rings.

6 -8 pints (change servings and units)

I just finished canning these last night! I had been looking for a 'stickle' recipe (that's what we call them here in 'Burg') - The only real difference I had was to cut them into small 'sticks' instead of rings.. Then I placed them 'standing up in the jar.' But I used everything else on the recipe exactly as listed. My mother in law makes these also, but the recipe is a couple days longer, and it takes a lot more cucumbers. (which I didn't have) I think hers taste a little bit more like 'candy' than mine, but maybe that comes with time on the shelf.. I will have to compare the recipes and see what the differences are exactly.. I would like to make these again, but find a way to make them just a bit more 'candy-ish'.. They are still sweet and good. A nice side to cottage cheese or perhaps a garnish for some applesauce. They kind of put me in the mind of cinnamon apple rings, but I like the texture of these a lot better! Nice and crunchy - not at all mushy! Thanks for the recipe! I'll definitely make these again!
