OLD-FASHIONED LIME PICKLES RECIPE RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Old-Fashioned Lime Pickles Recipe Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 About 6 pounds of 4- to 5-inch unwaxed pickling cucumbers (preferably fresh-picked and thin-skinned), scrubbed and rinsed
1 cup food-grade pickling lime (calcium hydroxide)
1/2 cup salt
1 gallon cold water
3 pounds white or yellow onions, diced
2 quarts white wine vinegar or cider vinegar (minimum 5 percent acidity; cider vinegar darkens pickles)
6 cups granulated sugar or 5 1/4 cups honey (honey adds its own flavor and darkens brine)
2 1/2 teaspoons unrefined sea salt or pickling salt
2 teaspoons mixed pickling spice

Steps:

  • 1. Cut cucumbers into 1/4-inch slices, discarding the ends. In a 2-gallon or larger nonreactive (glass or ceramic) container, mix lime with salt and water. Add cucumbers and soak, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 24 hours. 2. Remove slices from lime solution, rinse in a colander and resoak for 1 hour in fresh, cold water. Repeat rinsing and soaking steps at least 2 more times to completely remove lime. Drain well. Set aside. 3. In a large pot, whisk together onions, vinegar, sugar, salt and pickling spice. Simmer over low heat-do not boil-for 15 minutes. 4. Sterilize 4 quart-sized canning jars, with their lids and seals, in boiling water. Carefully pack cucumbers and onions into jars and pour hot liquid over them, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Use a wooden chopstick to stir out any air bubbles, and wipe rims to remove any liquid. Apply lids and rings. 5. Meanwhile, fill canner halfway with water, and heat it to 180 degrees. Set jars in canner, and continually monitor water temperature for 30 minutes. Make only minor adjustments to maintain this temperature for the duration. Ideally it should never exceed 185 degrees. (Alternatively, process jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.) Pickles improve after a month in storage.

GRANDMA JEAN'S LIME PICKLES



Grandma Jean's Lime Pickles image

An old family recipe. I remember my mother and grandmother making these when I was a little girl. Very different and much better than anything you can buy in the store.

Provided by dawnrw

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 pounds Cucumber sliced
2 cups Hydrated Lime for pickling
3 pints Vinegar
3 1/2 pounds Sugar
1 tablespoon Salt
1 package Pickling spice

Steps:

  • Dissolve 2 cups of lime in 2 gallons cold water. Pour over cucumbers to cover and let stand 24 hours. Drain, rinse thouroughly, and soak in fresh cold water for 4 hours. Make brine by mixing vinegar, sugar and salt. Add pickling spices in cheesecloth bag. Drain cucumbers, cover with brine and let stand overnight. Transfer cucumbers and brine to a large pot and simmer for 40 minutes (leave the bag with pickling spices in the pot to simmer). Remove spice bag and pack into hot, sterilized jars. *Note: This is a very old recipe, and the original instructions simply say to simmer 40 minutes and can. By today's standards they probably should be processed in a boiling water bath.

GREAT-GRANDMA LEORA'S LIME PICKLES



Great-Grandma Leora's Lime Pickles image

Homemade sweet and tangy lime pickles from my great-grandma's recipe

Provided by Kishona

Categories     Encouragement

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large Cucumbers
2 cups Pickling Lime
2 gallons Water
2 quarts Vinegar
3 Tablespoons Salt
10 cups Sugar
For the Bag of Spices
1 Tablespoon Pickling Spice
1 teaspoon Celery Seed
1 teaspoon Whole Cloves

Steps:

  • Clean cucumbers well. Don't peel.
  • Slice cucumbers about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Mix pickling lime with 2 gallons of water in a large, non-reactive pot. (My grandma uses a large crock).
  • Soak cucumber slices in the lime water for 24 hours.
  • Thoroughly rinse cucumber slices in clean cold water in at least 3 changes of water until the water is clear. It is very important to rinse the lime completely off the cucumbers. Leaving lime on them will neutralize the acidity of your pickles and could lead to sickness.
  • After a final rinse, soak the cucumbers for 3 hours in a fresh bath of cold water.
  • Clean and dry your canning jars. Make sure there are no chips along the mouth of the jar as it will affect the seal.
  • Place the jars, mouth up (easier to grab), in the oven. Set the oven to 200 degrees.
  • Place the canning jar lids and rings in a small pan. Fill about 3/4 full with water. Bring to near boiling then reduce the heat to low. (Boiling the water can cause the lid seals to stick together.)
  • In a large, non-reactive stock pot, mix your brine solution: vinegar, salt, and sugar.
  • Into a cooking sachet, piece of cheesecloth, or clean washcloth (that's what my grandma uses), add your pickling spice, celery seed, and whole cloves. Tie off the end of your "spice bag."
  • Add the spice bag to the brine.
  • Add the cucumbers to the brine. Brine should come up to cover most of the cucumbers, but the cucumbers will cook down so they don't all have to be covered.
  • Cook cucumbers over medium-high heat until the slices start to become clear. The cucumbers will go from a bright cucumber green to a darker pickle green as the white inside becomes translucent or clear. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Depending on the size of your pot, it may take about 30 minutes for all the slices to cook through. However, slices will start to be clear after a 15 minutes, and you can start to fill your jars then.
  • Use an oven mitt or towel to remove a hot, sterilized jar from the oven.
  • Place a funnel over the mouth of the jar, and using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked pickles to the jar. Shake the jar occasionally to help the pickles settle.
  • Once the jar is full of pickles, place a small strainer over the mouth of the jar and ladle brine into the jar, filling it to just where the neck of the jar starts. (The strainer will help keep excess seeds out of the brine).
  • Wipe the mouth of the jar with a clean cloth.
  • Using tongs, carefully select a lid from the small pan and place it on the jar. Add a ring, and using a towel or oven mitt to hold it, tighten the ring onto the jar.
  • Set jar aside to cool. Continue filling jars until all the pickles are canned. You can save the brine also.
  • Jar lids will "pop" as the jar cools, sealing your jar. Don't push on the top of the lids as you are sealing them or while they are cooling, as this can affect the seal.
  • Pickles are ready to be eaten after 24 hours.
  • Make sure you remove the canning rings from the jars within a day or two. Also, you may need to wipe of the jars once they have cooled as the brine is VERY sticky.

LIME PICKLE



Lime pickle image

Pair this tart, tangy and refreshing lime pickle with a simple meal of dhal and boiled rice. The recipe makes a 500g jar and will last for three months

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Condiment

Time 1h10m

Yield Makes a 500g jar

Number Of Ingredients 15

500g limes (about 7)
8 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
1 tsp ground turmeric
30g fine sea salt
1 tsp black mustard seeds
½ tsp fenugreek seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 star anise
1 tsp caster sugar
125ml vegetable oil, plus 30-50ml extra, if needed
30g root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
3 green chillies, deseeded and chopped
50ml white wine vinegar
70g granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Put the limes in a saucepan and cover with water. Place a small heatproof plate on top of the fruit to keep them submerged and then bring to a boil over a medium heat and simmer for 20-30 mins until the limes are tender. Scoop out the limes, pat them dry with kitchen paper, and discard the cooking water.
  • Once the limes are cool enough to handle, chop them (peel and pith included) into 3cm chunks and tip everything, including any juice, into a mixing bowl. Stir in the chopped garlic, chilli powder, turmeric and salt, and leave to one side for 1 hour.
  • Heat a sturdy and dry frying pan over a medium-low heat, and add the mustard seeds, fenugreek, cumin and star anise, Stir and toast the spices for about 40 seconds until aromatic. Tip them into a mortar, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and pound to a powder with a pestle - you can also use an electric spice grinder for this, too.
  • Add this ground spice mix to the limes, stir well, spoon everything into a sterilised jar and then seal. Leave the pickle in a warm place or on a sunny window ledge for 2-3 days so that flavours mature. Stir the limes once a day with a metal spoon to ensure they are evenly coated in the spice mix.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or karahi over a medium-high heat and fry the ginger and green chillies for 2-3 mins, until the ginger starts to turn golden. Add the vinegar and sugar and simmer over a medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved, then boil for 2 mins.
  • Turn the heat off and add the steeped limes and masala. Leave on one side to cool and then spoon the pickle back into the same jar. Using a metal spoon, push the limes down into the jar so that they are covered by the spicy oil - you might need to add a little extra oil. Seal the jar and leave the pickle for 3-4 days before tasting. It will keep for 3 months at room temperature.

LIME PICKLES



Lime Pickles image

They go really will with ham. Can't keep them on the shelf. They are worth the wait.

Provided by ED

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Canning and Preserving Recipes     Pickled

Time P1DT11h25m

Yield 100

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 gallons water
2 cups pickling lime (calcium hydroxide)
7 pounds cucumbers, cut into chunks
6 cups cold vinegar
8 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons pickling spice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed
½ teaspoon whole cloves
1 drop food coloring, or as desired

Steps:

  • Mix 2 gallons water and pickling lime together in a large bowl; add cucumbers and soak, stirring often, for 24 hours. Drain and thoroughly rinse cucumbers under cold water.
  • Fill a large bowl with ice water and soak cucumbers for 3 hours; drain.
  • Pour cold vinegar into a large pot. Mix sugar, pickling spice, salt, celery seed, cloves, and food coloring into vinegar until dissolved. Add cucumbers; let sit, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Bring cucumber mixture to a boil; remove pot from heat.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack cucumber mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
