Time P1DT11h25m

Yield 100

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 gallons water
2 cups pickling lime (calcium hydroxide)
7 pounds cucumbers, cut into chunks
6 cups cold vinegar
8 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons pickling spice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed
½ teaspoon whole cloves
1 drop food coloring, or as desired

Steps:

  • Mix 2 gallons water and pickling lime together in a large bowl; add cucumbers and soak, stirring often, for 24 hours. Drain and thoroughly rinse cucumbers under cold water.
  • Fill a large bowl with ice water and soak cucumbers for 3 hours; drain.
  • Pour cold vinegar into a large pot. Mix sugar, pickling spice, salt, celery seed, cloves, and food coloring into vinegar until dissolved. Add cucumbers; let sit, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Bring cucumber mixture to a boil; remove pot from heat.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack cucumber mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

OLD-FASHIONED LIME PICKLES RECIPE RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Old-Fashioned Lime Pickles Recipe Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 About 6 pounds of 4- to 5-inch unwaxed pickling cucumbers (preferably fresh-picked and thin-skinned), scrubbed and rinsed
1 cup food-grade pickling lime (calcium hydroxide)
1/2 cup salt
1 gallon cold water
3 pounds white or yellow onions, diced
2 quarts white wine vinegar or cider vinegar (minimum 5 percent acidity; cider vinegar darkens pickles)
6 cups granulated sugar or 5 1/4 cups honey (honey adds its own flavor and darkens brine)
2 1/2 teaspoons unrefined sea salt or pickling salt
2 teaspoons mixed pickling spice

Steps:

  • 1. Cut cucumbers into 1/4-inch slices, discarding the ends. In a 2-gallon or larger nonreactive (glass or ceramic) container, mix lime with salt and water. Add cucumbers and soak, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 24 hours. 2. Remove slices from lime solution, rinse in a colander and resoak for 1 hour in fresh, cold water. Repeat rinsing and soaking steps at least 2 more times to completely remove lime. Drain well. Set aside. 3. In a large pot, whisk together onions, vinegar, sugar, salt and pickling spice. Simmer over low heat-do not boil-for 15 minutes. 4. Sterilize 4 quart-sized canning jars, with their lids and seals, in boiling water. Carefully pack cucumbers and onions into jars and pour hot liquid over them, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Use a wooden chopstick to stir out any air bubbles, and wipe rims to remove any liquid. Apply lids and rings. 5. Meanwhile, fill canner halfway with water, and heat it to 180 degrees. Set jars in canner, and continually monitor water temperature for 30 minutes. Make only minor adjustments to maintain this temperature for the duration. Ideally it should never exceed 185 degrees. (Alternatively, process jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.) Pickles improve after a month in storage.

HOT-SWEET CUCUMBER LIME PICKLES - 3 DAY



Hot-Sweet Cucumber Lime Pickles - 3 Day image

A sweet, crunchy pickle with a slightly tangy bite - but not really hot. These luscious pickles take 3 days from start to finish; however, total time spent on preparation and cooking is less than 1 hour per day - under 3 hours total. Their excellent flavor makes them well worth the effort. I have to hide them to make them last all year long! Labeled and wrapped with a pretty bow, they make great hostess gifts. NOTE: Pickling lime is a powdered food grade hydrated lime manufactured by Ball and other companies. It makes pickles crunchy/crispy.
