Mustard Pickles


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 172 Posts

This brings back memories for me. My mother always made these and she never canned them but kept them in a crock in a cold basement. I know this sounds gross, but a scum would form on the top. You scraped away the scum and pulled out a pickle! Nowadays, I would probably keep them in an extra fridge or I am sure you could can them too. Probably would process them like dills, only don't use dill.

Ingredients:

  • 1 gallon white vinegar with 5% acidity
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup canning salt
  • 1 cup ground mustard (I would look for this in bulk at Amish or health food stores)
  • cucumbers (depending on how many of these you want, you could cut the recipe in half. Your solution should cover the cucumbers.

Directions:

Mix solution well and pour over cucumbers cold. Let stand in open jar or crock or cover with cheesecloth. Wait at least a week before eating.

Well thank you Threehorses! If I can find some cheap ground mustard, I am going to make these again this year. I am overrun with cukes!
