Recipe(tried): Stick/Christmas Pickles

Preserving - Pickles, Relishes
My wife makes these, & it sounds like what you're looking for....

Use large/fat pickling cucumbers, best if they have started turning yellow on the vine.

Step #1
Peel & deseed cucumbers, then slice into about 2" pieces (or whatever you like). You will need 7lbs when you have them cleaned.
Soak in a mixture of 2 gallons of water & 3 cups of pickeling lime. These will soak for 24 hours.

Step #2
Drain & wash well to remove all lime.
Mix 9 cups of sugar & 2 quarts of white vinegar in a large pot. Mix in 1 to 2 tsp whole cloves & lots of green (or whatever other color you like) food coloring; Add cucumber slices. In an old clean sock or fabric bag, mix: 1 TBSP canning salt, 1 TBSP celerly salt, & 1 TBSP pickeling salt. Put in with the rest of the stuff & soak for 24 hours.

Step #3
Slow cook mixture for 35 minutes after mixture gets hot.

Once done, pour into hot glass wide mouth jars, making sure to add enough of the liquid to cover the pickles. Leave about 1/2" of room at the top of the jar. Put on the hot canning lids & seal. Store in refrigerator.

Makes 6-7 quarts. You can also use pint jars if you'd like.
