How to Make Cinnamon Cucumber Pickles

  1. Select 4 large, overripe cucumbers.
  2. Peel, core, and slice cucumbers into 1/3-inch thick rings. Remove all seeds, leaving the cucumber in a ring shape.
  3. Soak cucumber rings in a mixture of 1/2 cup lime juice and 1 gallon of water for 24 hours.
  4. Wash cucumber rings thoroughly under cold water.
  5. Soak the washed rings, covered, in ice water for 3 hours.
  6. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon food coloring (optional), 1 tablespoon alum, and enough water to completely cover the cucumbers.
  7. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and simmer gently for 2 hours.
  8. Carefully pour off the simmering liquid.
  9. In a separate saucepan, bring to a boil 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 12 cups granulated sugar, 4 cinnamon sticks (about 4 inches total), and 1 teaspoon red hots candies.
  10. Pour the hot syrup over the cucumbers and let stand for 24 hours.
  11. Pour the syrup back into the saucepan and bring to a rolling boil.
  12. Pack the cucumber rings into sterilized pint or quart jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  13. Place 1 cinnamon stick into each jar.
  14. Pour the boiling syrup over the cucumbers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles.
  15. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes for pints and 15 minutes for quarts. Ensure jars are completely submerged in boiling water.
