Lime Pickles
Lime Pickles is an easy dinner. Made with 7 lb. cucumbers, 2 lb. sugar, lime (builders), 3 pt. vinegar and 1 tsp. each: cloves, ginger, allspice, celery seed, mace and cinnamon, this recipe delivers authentic, satisfying flavors. Great for entertaining guests or a cozy night in.
Soak the cucumbers after slicing in thin slices in a mixture of 1 1/2 cups lime to 1 gallon water, making enough to cover the cucumbers.
Let them soak on lime mixture overnight.
Drain and soak for 5 hours in fresh water, changing hourly.
Make a syrup of the sugar, vinegar and spices and bring to a boil.
After changing the water for the last time, pour the syrup over the cucumbers and let stand overnight, then boil for 1 hour and seal in jars.
