These are the best sweet pickles ever.
This recipe makes pickles more crisp than any other
I have found. They are delicious in Tuna Salad,
Macaroni & Green Pea Salad, Potato Salad made with
mayo (I use sour pickles with mustard) etc.
Icicle Pickles
2 gals. cucumber sliced
soak in 2 C. lime and water to cover cucumbers for 24 hrs.
Pour off and soak in clean water 2 hrs.
Simmer 2 hrs. in
3 qts vinegar
8 C. sugar
1/2 box pickling spice
Ladle into jars and seal.
I usually make at least one recipe using grated cucumbers. This way I don't
have to chop pickles when I am making salads.
