HOW TO MAKE SWEET GHERKIN PICKLES

Steps:

• Wash cucumbers. Cut 1/16-inch slices off blossom ends and discard, but leave ¼ inch of stem attached. Place cucumbers in large container and cover with boiling water.
• Six to 8 hours later, and on the second day, drain and cover with 6 US quarts (6,000 ml) of fresh boiling water containing ¼ cup salt. On the third day, drain and prick cucumbers with a table fork.
• Combine and bring to boil 3 cups vinegar, 3 cups sugar, turmeric, and spices. Pour over cucumbers. Six to 8 hours later, drain the pickling syrup into a saucepan.
• Add 2 cups each of sugar and vinegar to the syrup and reheat to boil. Pour over pickles. On the fourth day, drain the syrup into a saucepan. Add another 2 cups sugar and 1 cup vinegar.
• Heat to boiling and pour over pickles. Six to 8 hours later, drain the pickling syrup into a saucepan. Add 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla to syrup and heat to boiling.
• Fill sterile pint jars with pickles and cover with hot syrup, leaving ½-inch headspace.
• Adjust lids and process using the low-temperature pasteurization treatment. This results in a better product texture, but must be carefully managed to avoid possible spoilage. Place jars in a canner filled halfway with warm (120 to 140 °F) water. Then, add hot water to a level 1 inch (2.5 cm) above jars. Heat the water enough to maintain 180 to 185 °F (82 to 85 °C) water temperature for 30 minutes. Check with a candy or jelly thermometer to be certain that the water temperature is at least 180 °F (82 °C) during the entire 30 minutes. Temperatures higher than 185 °F (85 °C) may cause unnecessary softening of pickles.

• Place all the veg in a sterilised airtight jar, add 125ml of water, along with the vinegar, salt, sugar and herbs and spices, if using. Close the lid and give it a good shake.
