- 120 minutes to make
- Serves 1
An old recipie - fairly labor intensive, but oh, so worth it! The oil needs to be bought from the pharmacy - it is not sold over-the-counter.
Ingredients
- 8 each large ripe cucumbers shopping list
- 7 cups sugar shopping list
- 1 pint white vinegar shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon oil of cloves shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon oil of cinnamon shopping list
- 3 medium-sized jars marachino cherries with juice shopping list
How to make it
- Peel cucumbers and remove seeds. Cut into 1 inch pieces. Cover with water and boil until tender.
- Drain water.
- Make a syrup of the sugar, vinegar, and oils. Bring the syrup to a boil and pour over the drained cucumbers. Let stand overnight.
- Drain (reserving liquid) and bring syrup to a boil again - pour over cucumbers and let stand for 3 hours.
- Then heat both syrup and cukes to a boil. Add the jars of cherries and juice once you remove the cukes from heat.
- Put in jars and seal in water-bath processing.
