RED HOT CINNAMON PICKLES
aka: "Christmas Pickles" Recipe by Shirley Olson & Terri Olson-Cleveland - These pickles take 3 days to make, but are well worth the wait! We used to eat them like candy when we were kids. They make wonderful Christmas gifts.

Steps:
- DAY ONE: In the morning, peel the cucumbers and slice in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, gently scoop out the seeds and discard. Cut cucumbers into 1/4-inch half moon slices.
- LIME SOLUTION: In a very large non- reactive bowl or container, (I like to use a 5-gallon food-grade plastic bucket with lid) mix the pickling lime with 4 cups of water. Add the cucumber slices; then add more water to cover them. Let stand for 24 hours. It's not necessary to refrigerate or stir the cucumbers during this process.
- DAY TWO: Drain and rinse the cucumbers thoroughly to remove as much of the lime solution as possible. Return the cucumber slices to the clean bowl or bucket. Cover the cucumbers with ice water. Let stand for 3 hours.
- Drain the cucumbers and rinse well again. All of the lime should be removed from the cucumbers.
- SIMMERING LIQUID: In a large 8 quart non-reactive pot, mix 1 tablespoon red food coloring, 1 cup white vinegar, and 4 cups of water. Add the cucumber slices and add more water to cover them. Bring the water to a simmer (not a boil) and simmer for 2 hours. Watch carefully to make sure the water does not evaporate so much that you risk burning the cucumbers. Add more water as needed.
- RED HOT CINNAMON SYRUP: Meanwhile, one hour before the cucumber finish simmering, make the Red Hot Cinnamon Syrup in a 5 quart non-reactive pot by mixing 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 10 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and the Red Hot cinnamon candies. Heat to a simmer and stir occasionally until the candies are dissolved, about 1 hour.
- Drain the cucumber simmering liquid and return the cucumbers to the pot. Pour the Red Hot Cinnamon syrup over them, and let them stand overnight.
- DAY THREE: The following morning, bring the cucumbers and syrup to a simmer. The pickles will be a beautiful red color and have a translucent quality to them, characteristic of pickles made with pickling lime.
- Pack the pickles into sterilized canning jars, cover with syrup leaving 1/4 inch of head space in each jar. Add a stick of cinnamon to each jar. Wipe the rims clean with a damp rag. Cover with sterilized lids and screw on bands finger-tip tight. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
- Pickles are best served cold.
CHRISTMAS PICKLES
A dear family friend made these pickles for decades. I've adapted the recipe a bit over the years, but in my heart they are still "Dr. Rhodes' pickles." These morsels are delicious any time of year, but the green, red and white hues of the pickles, cherries and onions make them ideal for Christmas gift-giving-and it's a tasty twist on the classic Christmas pickle tradition. -Patricia Martin, Shelby

These cinnamon-flavored sweet pickles are a bit like candied apples. Kind of time consuming but worth the time.

SPICY CHRISTMAS PICKLES (NO COOK)
These are an easy icebox pickle that are spicy and sweet and stays crisp. Why are they called Christmas pickles? Because they are bright green or red!!! I usually make green and red to liven up the holiday relish tray. I also make these pickles without the food coloring and they are a family favorite throughout the year. I found the recipe years ago in a local electric co-op magazine.

Steps:
- Drain pickles and rinse gallon jar.
- Slice pickles into 3/4" or 1" rounds, drain again.
- Into jar layer sliced pickles, peeled garlic, and sugar; add NO liquid.
- Pour on the whole bottle of tabasco sauce, NOTE: I have used the 2oz size when I wanted a less spicy pickle and I think tabasco is the only brand of hot sauce to use in this recipe.
- Add bottle of red OR green food coloring if desired.
- Cap jar and shake.
- Store in icebox and shake it daily to mix the ingredients and dissolve the sugar.
- In about a week you will have brightly colored,spicy pickles!
- Note: as these marinate over the week they shrink, so the yield will be less than a gallon.

GRANDMA LAVONNE'S CHRISTMAS PICKLES
This is a wonderful recipe that was passed down from my grandma to my mom and now to me. There is a lot of work involved, but they are SO worth it!!
