I promised a crispy sweet pickle recipe to the list. I've been away from the computer - sorry for the delay!
This is how my Grandmother does it:Slice Cucumbers 1/4 inch in thickness, place in a porcelain lined or possibly granite vessel. Cover with 1 gallon of water in that lime has been dissolved. Let sit for 24 hrs.
Remove cucumbers, rinse well through several cool water baths to remove all lime sediment.
Dissolve sugar in vinegar, add in cinnamon sticks and cloth pouch of nutmeg and ginger.
Bring to boil, add in slices of cucumber and boil rapidly about 35 min.
Throw away cloth pouch, fill sterilized jars with pickles and juice, add in cinnamon sticks and seal jars.
These are a family favorite. No get-together is complete without them! I suppose you could add in peppers of your choice. I plan to add in Calvin's Magic Pwdr.
Peppers alone would probably work - I love pickled okra but haven't tried them crispy style.
