INGREDIENTS
Liquid
- đź’§ 2 gallons water
- 6 cups cold vinegar
Chemical
- 2 cups pickling lime (calcium hydroxide)
- 1 drop food coloring, or as desired
Vegetable
- 🥒 7 pounds cucumbers, cut into chunks
Spices
- 2 teaspoons pickling spice
- 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- ½ teaspoon whole cloves
Sweetener
- 🍬 8 cups white sugar
STEPS
Mix 2 gallons water and pickling lime together in a large bowl; add cucumbers and soak, stirring often, for 24 hours. Drain and thoroughly rinse cucumbers under cold water.
Fill a large bowl with ice water and soak cucumbers for 3 hours; drain.
Pour cold vinegar into a large pot. Mix sugar, pickling spice, salt, celery seed, cloves, and food coloring into vinegar until dissolved. Add cucumbers; let sit, 8 hours to overnight.
Bring cucumber mixture to a boil; remove pot from heat.
Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack cucumber mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Remove air bubbles and wipe jar rims with a moist towel before sealing them with lids and rings.
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Boil the jars for 15 minutes, ensuring water covers the jars by at least 1 inch.
Remove jars from hot water and cool on a cloth or wooden surface, ensuring seals are tight. Store in a cool, dark area.
