We have quite a few of what we call "ripe" cucumbers that are ready for making into sweet pickles. Linda found a recipe for them last year and we made a batch to try. Turned out that our Son-in-Law loved them. Our daughter was going to make a batch this year but we have run into a snag, despite many hours searching through cookbooks Linda cannot find the recipe. We've got to do something soon to the cukes will go to waste.
What we remember of the recipe is: Peeled cukes get cut into fork size cubes then covered with a brine of water, sugar, vinegar and pickling spice. Brine is brought to a boil, poured over the cuke pieces and left to set for a day, then drained, reheated and put back over the cukes for three cycles, then the pickles are canned.
They come out light green, as opposed to some recipes where the pickles are a dark amber.
Does anybody know of a recipe like that?
