I have a friend who cans anything that isn't moving and I would be surprised if she wouldn't have a recipe. Nothing on RecipeZaar and a google search turns up nada. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Could that be the recipe you need? I have one for watermelon rind pickles if you'd like it. Quote \| Reply \| Report

The difference between jim and jake could be just the area. I would like to take a look at your recipe if you are willing to share it. Thank you very much--roger beneker Quote \| Reply \| Report

If you make it, store in the refrigerator. Slippery Jacks (Pickles) from Grit magazine * 8 large, very ripe cucumbers * 1/2 cup salt * 1 1/2 cups sugar * 2 T. mustard seed * 1 T. celery seed * 1 T. Mixed whole spices * 3 1/2 cups cider vinegar * Pare and slice cucumbers lengthwise into 4 or 5 inch lengths. Remove seeds. * Sprinkle with salt and let stand 24 hours. * Place salted cucumbers in colander, drain one hour. * In large cooking pot boil sugar, spices and vinegar 5 minutes. * Add cukes and simmer 20-25 minutes. * Pack into hot jars and seal at once.
