Sweet Cucumber Pickles

Recipe #252771 | 4½ hours | 1½ hours prep | add private note

By: Sharligan

These are AMAZING! Everyone argues that it can't be cucumbers!! I've been told they belong in a pie - so sweet and in their own dark syrup. Lots of work but VERY worth the effort!

SERVES 8 -10 , 8 -10 pints (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    * The x-large yellow cucumbers are a particular type. If they are not available to you, regular cucumbers will do but increase the number to 12.
  2. 2
    Pare the cucumbers and quarter, removing the seeds.
  3. 3
    Cut into strips and halve.
  4. 4
    Combine the salt and water in a large kettle, stirring to dissolve the salt.
  5. 5
    Add the cucumber strips and allow to sit in the brine about 12 hours.
  6. 6
    DRAIN WELL.
  7. 7
    In a kettle, combine vinegar, sugar and spices. (The spices may be tied into a cheesecloth bag or left in the pot. I leave them in the pot).
  8. 8
    Heat to boiling, adding enough cucumber strips to cover the bottom of the pan, cooking until just slightly transparent.
  9. 9
    Remove the pickles to sterilized jars and repeat til all the cucumbers have been cooked.
  10. 10
    Pour the hot 'syrup' into the pickle jars (to within 1/2 inch from the rim), keeping any leftover syrup.
  11. 11
    DO NOT SEAL THE JARS! Cover the jars and each morning for the next 3 days, drain off the 'syrup' into your kettle (with any leftover syrup, boiling for 5 minutes & pour over the pickles.
  12. 12
    Follow this last step each of the following 3 days. SEAL on the third day.
  13. 13
    Brine time (12 hrs) is not included nor are the 3 days -- .
