As many of you know I’m an avid bowhunter and now that September is here, hunting is in full swing. One of my favorite parts about hunting is being able to spend time with my “second” family, the Kuiack’s. After coming in for a visit, Heather (my other mom) sent me home with TONS of pickles from her garden and this fabulous recipe for sweet pickles that came from a neighbor of theirs.  These pickles still have a slight crunch, a perfect sweet and vinegar-tart taste and would be great served with crackers and cheese or on your favourite sandwich.. Let’s get to the recipe so you can enjoy these easy, deliciously sweet pickles.

    Do you need to peel the cucumbers before slicing?

    Hi! I hope you can help – i can only find large cucumbers in the uk (about right diameter but about 30cm long) how would that compare to your “large” cucumbers for this recipe please 🙂

    How long do I let them sit before they’re good to eat?

      You can eat them immediately! Of course, they will become more pickled the longer they sit.

    When you mention at the end to seal the pickles are you meaning to boil them in a canning pot or just put the lids on since the syrup is already boiling?

      Just put the lids on!
