Sweet Hot Mustard Dills No Canning Food

HOW TO MAKE MUSTARD PICKLES - GREAT-GRANDMA'S RECIPE

Steps:

• Place cucumbers and onions in a large stainless steel or glass bowl.
• Mix 1 cup of pickling/canning salt with 8 cups of cold water (double this as needed if doing a larger batch of pickles). Pour over top of cucumbers and onions, add more cold water if necessary to cover the tops of the cucumbers. Use a clean plate and place on top of the cucumbers to keep them under the surface of the ice salt water.
• Fill a pint sized Mason jar with water (use a lid) and set it on top of the plate to act as a weight. Let soak for 1 to 2 hours on the counter or put the bowl in the fridge overnight or for 12 hours.
• After soaking cucumbers and onions, pour out salt water and rinse thoroughly with cold water and allow cucumbers to drain.
• Prepare water bath canner and begin warming the water.
• In a large stainless steel pot, combine sugar, dry mustard and turmeric, celery salt, and ClearJel®, then pour in a ½ cup of water, whisking until combined and smooth. Pour in vinegar and bring to a full boil while stirring.
• Once it's reached a full boil, lower heat to a simmer and stir until it thickens up, then add the cucumbers and the onions and bring to a boil. When it reaches a boil with the vegetables added, keep at a low boil and cook for 5 minutes, stir as needed.
• In jars just washed in hot soapy water and rinsed, pack the relish/pickle mixture to a ½ inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and add more product if needed to keep the ½ inch headspace. Clean the rim, put on lid and bands, and screw down to finger tip tight. Place filled jar into your water bath canner. Make sure at least 1 inch of water covers the top of the jars.
• Bring water to a full boil, once water is boiling, process pints for 10 minutes.
• Turn off heat, remove lid, and let jars sit in canner for 5 minutes. Then remove from canner and let cool and seal on a folded towel.

SWEET HOT MUSTARD DILLS (NO CANNING)

Steps:

• Drain pickles reserving the juice. Put whole pickles back in the jar.
• Pour dry mustard, sugar, and several good dashes of hot sauce in the jar over the pickles. You will probably have to shake down the sugar to make room for it all. If needed, add a little pickle juice to force it down.
• Once all other ingredients have been added to the jar, replace lid and shake. Let sit out on the counter over night shaking a few times to dissolve sugar.
• The next day, add reserved pickle juice to just barely cover pickles and shake well. Leave out again overnight shaking occassionally until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate pickles for about a week before eating. Shake them if sugar is not quite dissolved.
• The pickles will shrink quite a bit. This is normal. They are crisp and spicy. Enjoy!
