GRANDMA HALL'S SWEET CUCUMBER PICKLES
Passed down to my grandmother from Aunt Alpha. These Pickles are the bomb. I can remember as a young child going to my grandmother's house and i just couldn't wait to get my hands on the jar of sweet pickles. They are like Lays Potato Chips! You can't eat just one. This recipe is very well worth the three days it takes to make them. A Special Thanks to my Aunt Kay and Mom for sharing this awesome family recipe with me. From my family to yours. Enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Sweet Cucumber Pickles
- Choose the right cucumbers. For best results, use pickling cucumbers, which are smaller and have thinner skin than regular cucumbers. They will hold their shape better in the pickling process.
- Prepare the cucumbers properly. Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut them into uniform pieces. If you are using whole cucumbers, cut them into spears or slices. If you are using sliced cucumbers, cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Use a good quality vinegar. The type of vinegar you use will affect the flavor of your pickles. For a classic sweet pickle flavor, use white vinegar. For a more complex flavor, use apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar.
- Add sugar and spices. The amount of sugar and spices you add will depend on your personal preference. For a sweeter pickle, add more sugar. For a more savory pickle, add more spices.
- Process the pickles properly. Once you have combined all of the ingredients, process the pickles according to the recipe instructions. This will help to ensure that the pickles are safe to eat and that they have the desired flavor and texture.
