How to Make Sugar And Spice Sweet Pickle

  1. Prepare 2 lbs pickling cucumbers, cutting into 1-inch slices. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup kosher salt and let stand for 3 hours.
  2. Rinse cucumbers thoroughly with cold water to remove excess salt.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine the following brine ingredients and bring to a boil: 4 cups white vinegar, 2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup pickling salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon turmeric (for color).
  4. Pack the rinsed cucumbers tightly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
  5. Carefully pour the boiling brine over the cucumbers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
  6. Remove any air bubbles by gently running a knife or chopstick along the sides of the jar.
  7. Wipe the jar rims clean and seal with lids and rings.
  8. **Optional:** For longer shelf life and food safety, process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Ensure jars are fully submerged during processing. Let cool completely.
  9. Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy after at least 2 weeks for optimal flavor!
