EMERIL'S HOMEMADE SWEET AND SPICY PICKLES
NOTE: When selecting cucumbers for pickling, there are a few things to remember. For crisp pickles, choose ripe, pickling cucumbers, which are shorter and chunkier than regular eating cucumbers, which tend to be longer and smoother. Ripe pickling cucumbers are darker green, firm, and not "bloated." They should have plenty of spiny bumps on the outer surface. Overripe cucumbers make mushy pickles. They tend to have yellow or white streaks or spots and their surfaces are smoother. Choose pickles that have not been coated in wax, as the pickling brine cannot penetrate through the wax. The fresher the cucumbers, the crisper the pickles will be. For best results, try picking your own cucumbers from a local farm or farmers' market.

Steps:
- Place cucumbers, onions, pickling salt, and water in a large, non-reactive bowl. Cover and allow cucumbers to soak for 2 hours. Drain the water from the onions and cucumbers through a colander and rinse well for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- Combine the vinegars, sugar, mustard seeds, turmeric, cloves, garlic, and peppers in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and add the cucumbers and onions. Bring to a simmer and remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Fill each of the hot sterilized pint-size preserving jars with the pickle mixture, dividing them evenly, and enough of the liquid to come within 1/2-inch of the top. Add 1/2 teaspoon of Natural Pickle Crisp to each jar, if desired. With a clean damp towel, wipe the rim and fit with a hot lid. Screw on the metal ring just until the point of resistance is met. Process the jars in a hot-water bath for 15 minutes.
- Using tongs, remove the jars, place on a towel, and let cool. Test the seals by allowing the jars to stand at room temperature overnight or until the lids pop. Tighten the rings and store in a cool dry place. Let the pickles age for at least 2 weeks before using.

OLD FASHIONED SWEET NINE DAY PICKLES
Love these Sweet Pickles, one of the best sweet pickle recipes in my collection and one of the best I have ever tasted. This is one of those old old recipes shared by a lady that made really great pickles. Very easily made and not as time consuming as it sounds. While modern safety method requirements may call for processing I don't process my pickles as I find it changes the taste and texture, you may do so if you wish. As with many of the old recipes some things just do not enter well ... with this one it's you have to be making up enough of each of the brine solutions to completely cover! NOTE be sure to use non - reactive containers ( stainless steel - unchipped enamel/porcelain, assure all your plastic bowls and containers are food grade)

- I often replace some of the cucumber pieces with cauliflower chunks, making for a mixed sweet pickle.
- Makes about eight pints.
BEST EVER SWEET PICKLES
I pack away homegrown cucumbers every summer. This recipe is based on the pickled veggies in Brown Eggs and Jam Jars by Aimee Wimbush-Bourque, but I've made it less mustardy and more garlicky to fit my family's tastes. This method keeps them incredibly, refreshingly crunchy. -Ellie Martin Cliffe, Taste of Home Digital Deputy Editor

GRANDMA HALL'S SWEET CUCUMBER PICKLES
Passed down to my grandmother from Aunt Alpha. These Pickles are the bomb. I can remember as a young child going to my grandmother's house and i just couldn't wait to get my hands on the jar of sweet pickles. They are like Lays Potato Chips! You can't eat just one. This recipe is very well worth the three days it takes to make them. A Special Thanks to my Aunt Kay and Mom for sharing this awesome family recipe with me. From my family to yours. Enjoy!

- Day One - Soak the cucumbers in ice cold water for 30 minutes. Drain the water, trim off the ends of cucumbers, and cut them into 1/4-inch slices or chunks. (For simplicity, I'll refer to them as slices. A mandoline works well for slicing - just be careful toward the end of the cucumber not to cut your hand or fingers.) Pack the slices into 1 or 2 food safe containers. Cover the slices with boiling water, cover the container(s) and let the cucumbers sit overnight.
- Day Two - Drain the water and rinse the jar(s). Add salt to 2 quarts (1/2 gallon) of boiling water. Pour the salt water over the cucumber slices, cover the cucumbers again, and let them sit overnight.
- Day Three - Drain the salt water and rinse the jar(s) again. Add the alum to 2 quarts (1/2 gallon) of boiling water. Pour the alum/water over the cucumber slices, cover the cucumbers again, and let them sit overnight.
- Day Four - Drain the alum water and rinse the jar(s) again. Bring the 2 quarts (half gallon) of apple cider vinegar to a boil. Put the pickling spices into a cheesecloth bundle tied at both ends or a tea ball. Add the spices to the boiled cider vinegar, pour the mixture over the cucumber slices, cover them again, and let the slices sit that way for three days.
