BEST EVER SWEET PICKLES

I pack away homegrown cucumbers every summer. This recipe is based on the pickled veggies in Brown Eggs and Jam Jars by Aimee Wimbush-Bourque, but I've made it less mustardy and more garlicky to fit my family's tastes. This method keeps them incredibly, refreshingly crunchy. -Ellie Martin Cliffe, Taste of Home Digital Deputy Editor

SWEET CUCUMBER PICKLES

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!

Time 4h30m

Yield 8-10 pints, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 -8 large cucumbers, x-large yellow*
1/2 cup salt
4 1/2 cups water
1 quart vinegar
6 -7 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon clove
2 bay leaves, whole
2 tablespoons mustard seeds

Steps:

  • * 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.
  • Pare the cucumbers and quarter, removing the seeds.
  • Cut into strips and halve.
  • Combine the salt and water in a large kettle, stirring to dissolve the salt.
  • Add the cucumber strips and allow to sit in the brine about 12 hours.
  • DRAIN WELL.
  • 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).
  • Heat to boiling, adding enough cucumber strips to cover the bottom of the pan, cooking until just slightly transparent.
  • Remove the pickles to sterilized jars and repeat til all the cucumbers have been cooked.
  • Pour the hot 'syrup' into the pickle jars (to within 1/2 inch from the rim), keeping any leftover syrup.
  • 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.
  • Follow this last step each of the following 3 days. SEAL on the third day.
  • Brine time (12 hrs) is not included nor are the 3 days -- .
