Mawmaw's Crispy Sweet Pickle Recipe

Crispy Sweet Pickles Recipe (Mawmaw's recipe)
7 to 10 pounds (20 cups) cucumbers, washed and sliced into 1/2" thick rounds
2 Gallons Water
1 cup Pickling Lime
8 cups White Distilled Vinegar
8 cups White Sugar
1 Tablespoon Salt
2 generous Tablespoons Pickling Spice
(1) Mix water and lime in a large enamel coated crock, enamel coated pan or a glass container. The lime soak is what causes them to stay crunchy so do not skip this step. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM! Add the cucumber slices and soak for at least 2 hours to overnight.
(2) Drain the lime water and rinse and drain the slices 3 times to completely rid them of the lime. Cover the slices in ice water and soak for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
(3) Mix the vinegar, sugar, salt and pickling spice in a large pot. Heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Drain and add the cucumber slices to the pot. Bring to a boil and turn down and let cook for 15 minutes. Fill sterilized jars with pickles and cover with the syrup leaving a 1/2" head space. Top with a sterilized lid and twist top. Tighten only finger tight.
(4) Water bathe for at least 10 minutes or let them cool completely in the water bath. Lasts on the shelf up to 18 months. REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING.
