1. Peel and remove seeds from 8 to 10 large cucumbers. Seeds can be
removed with an apple corer. Slice into 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide rings.
Soak overnight in lime and water in a porcelain container (use
non-aluminum). 2. Wash, drain; soak in clear water and covered with
ice cubes for 3 hours. Drain. 3. Put in large pot. Cover with water
and other ingredients for the boiling solution. Boil for 1 hour; then
drain. 4. Make syrup and bring to boil to dissolve sugar. Use one
cinnamon stick for each jar you think you will have. Pour syrup over
cucumbers and let stand overnight. 5. Drain syrup from cucumbers into
separate pan and bring to a boil. Pour back over cucumbers. After
cool, cover with Saran wrap.

jars. Putting in water bath is optional. Recipe from Suzy Hron (my
