Time P1DT30m

Yield 5-6 pints

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 1/2 lbs pickling cucumbers, 4-5 inches long
2 1/2 cups water
3 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup kosher salt
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 ounce whole mixed pickling spice, tied in a cheesecloth
1 onion, chopped
fresh garlic (optional)
20 (1 g) packets stevia, I used NOW Foods brand, be sure to check the sugar equivalency charts of your stevia brand

Steps:

Scrub cucumbers, quarter them lengthwise, and place them in a large glass bowl with salt and cover with ice water. Mix to dissolve salt. Ensure all cucumbers are submerged (use a dinner plate to hold them down) and put them in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
Bring canner water to a boil. Throughly wash 6 pint canning jars and lids, and place them in the water. Ensure the water level covers the caps on the jars. Leave them in simmering water until ready to fill.
Drain cucumbers and rinse 2 or 3 times in cold water. Set aside.
Bring vinegar, water, and 1 tsp Kosher salt to a boil. Add onion and cheesecloth filled with pickling spice. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add stevia and stir until dissolved.
Bring the canner rack up and raise the heat to boil. Take one jar out of the rack, draining the water. Add optional garlic to the jar and fill with cucumbers. (It is easier to turn the jar on its side to do this.) Fill jar with simmering pickling liquid, leaving 1/2 inch head space.
Slide a nonmentallic spatula or a chopstick between the cucumbers in the jar to release air pockets. Repeat a few times.
Remove a 2 piece lid from the hot water. Wipe jar rim and lid with a clean dry cloth. Screw the lid band down, just until resistence is met. Set the jar into the rack and repeat from step 5 until all jars are filled.
Lower the rack into the canner pot and put the lid on. Start a timer for 15 minutes and process the jars at a gentle but steady boil.
After 15 minutes, raise canner rack and carefully remove the jars, setting them on a dry towel to cool. Do not jar, shake or tip jars. Leave them be for 24 hours.

Tips for Canning Sweet Pickles:

Choose firm, ripe cucumbers for best results.
Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers.
In a large pot, combine vinegar, sugar, salt, pickling spices, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add cucumber slices and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, or until cucumbers are heated through.
Remove from heat and carefully transfer cucumber slices to sterilized jars.
Pour hot vinegar mixture over cucumbers, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Wipe jar rims with a clean, damp cloth and seal jars with lids.
Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Remove jars from water bath and let cool completely.
Once cooled, store jars in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before enjoying.

Conclusion:
