EMERIL'S HOMEMADE SWEET AND SPICY PICKLES



Emeril's Homemade Sweet and Spicy Pickles image

NOTE: When selecting cucumbers for pickling, there are a few things to remember. For crisp pickles, choose ripe, pickling cucumbers, which are shorter and chunkier than regular eating cucumbers, which tend to be longer and smoother. Ripe pickling cucumbers are darker green, firm, and not "bloated." They should have plenty of spiny bumps on the outer surface. Overripe cucumbers make mushy pickles. They tend to have yellow or white streaks or spots and their surfaces are smoother. Choose pickles that have not been coated in wax, as the pickling brine cannot penetrate through the wax. The fresher the cucumbers, the crisper the pickles will be. For best results, try picking your own cucumbers from a local farm or farmers' market.

Time P14DT2h55m

Yield 4 pints

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds pickling cucumbers, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 cups sliced onions
1/2 cup pickling salt
6 cups water
3 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
4 whole cloves
10 tablespoons roughly chopped garlic
24 dried cayenne peppers
2 teaspoons 100 percent Natural Pickle Crisp, optional

Steps:

  • Place cucumbers, onions, pickling salt, and water in a large, non-reactive bowl. Cover and allow cucumbers to soak for 2 hours. Drain the water from the onions and cucumbers through a colander and rinse well for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  • Combine the vinegars, sugar, mustard seeds, turmeric, cloves, garlic, and peppers in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and add the cucumbers and onions. Bring to a simmer and remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • Fill each of the hot sterilized pint-size preserving jars with the pickle mixture, dividing them evenly, and enough of the liquid to come within 1/2-inch of the top. Add 1/2 teaspoon of Natural Pickle Crisp to each jar, if desired. With a clean damp towel, wipe the rim and fit with a hot lid. Screw on the metal ring just until the point of resistance is met. Process the jars in a hot-water bath for 15 minutes.
  • Using tongs, remove the jars, place on a towel, and let cool. Test the seals by allowing the jars to stand at room temperature overnight or until the lids pop. Tighten the rings and store in a cool dry place. Let the pickles age for at least 2 weeks before using.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and firm pickling cucumbers for the best results. Smaller cucumbers are typically better than larger ones, as they have a higher ratio of flesh to seeds.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor your pickles. Common choices include dill, garlic, peppercorns, and mustard seeds. You can also add other ingredients like onions, peppers, or carrots for extra flavor.
  • Make sure to sterilize your jars and lids before using them. This will help to prevent the growth of bacteria and ensure that your pickles are safe to eat.
  • Allow your pickles to cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent the jars from cracking.
  • Store your pickles in a cool, dark place. They will keep for several months, but the flavor will mellow over time.

Conclusion:

Sugar-free sweet and spicy pickles are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up extra cucumbers from your garden.
