I loved it. It was amazing!

I have a very similar recipe handed down from my grandmother but it specifies that the 7 day process must be done in a crock. It is miraculous that this unlikely process can produce such crispy and delicious pickles, but it does! Don't bother with another recipe-it is worth the effort!

I need the 7 day pickle recipe with alum. Do you use alum?

GREAT.. but needs some Alum in the boiling water for 24 hours.. and then make brine and can. Assures crispy pickles.

This recipe has been in our family for generations and my children continue to ask for it. A tip for those who don't like it setting for seven days is to do each step every 12 hours instead of 24 making it a 3 ½ days instead. My mom started this when she moved to a more humid climate so the pickles wouldn't get so slimmy and they are just as good.

This is a tried and true recipe for crispy 7 day sweet pickles, it's my go to recipe every harvest. If your cukes are a bit overripe then I start the first 24 hrs with boiling water, then add to that 1/2 Cup pickling salt and 1 Cup pickling lime. If using lime be sure to follow the next 24 hrs with rinsing them 3 times in cold water to remove the excess lime.

Just before making the brine take 2 cups of the vinegar and simmer 15 minutes with 5 chopped jalapeno peppers-seeds and all.
Drain through a fine strainer and enough vinegar to make the 2 cups back. You now have SWEET N HOT PICKLES. Ooh so good! I also use the 12 hour system.
