Zubereitung von Old Fashioned Sweet Cucumber Pickle
- Wash and scrub 4 pounds pickling cucumbers thoroughly. Trim the ends.
- Combine 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 teaspoon celery seed, 1 teaspoon mustard seed, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Pack cucumbers tightly into sterilized pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace.
- Ladle the hot brine over the cucumbers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles by gently tapping the jars.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and tighten to fingertip tightness.
- Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on your altitude).
- Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
- Let the pickles ferment at room temperature for 2 weeks. Check daily to ensure brine covers the cucumbers. If not, add a little more water to compensate for evaporation.
- After 2 weeks, refrigerate the pickles to slow down the fermentation process. Your pickles are now ready to enjoy!
