BEST EVER SWEET PICKLES
I pack away homegrown cucumbers every summer. This recipe is based on the pickled veggies in Brown Eggs and Jam Jars by Aimee Wimbush-Bourque, but I've made it less mustardy and more garlicky to fit my family's tastes. This method keeps them incredibly, refreshingly crunchy. -Ellie Martin Cliffe, Taste of Home Digital Deputy Editor

EMERIL'S HOMEMADE SWEET AND SPICY PICKLES
NOTE: When selecting cucumbers for pickling, there are a few things to remember. For crisp pickles, choose ripe, pickling cucumbers, which are shorter and chunkier than regular eating cucumbers, which tend to be longer and smoother. Ripe pickling cucumbers are darker green, firm, and not "bloated." They should have plenty of spiny bumps on the outer surface. Overripe cucumbers make mushy pickles. They tend to have yellow or white streaks or spots and their surfaces are smoother. Choose pickles that have not been coated in wax, as the pickling brine cannot penetrate through the wax. The fresher the cucumbers, the crisper the pickles will be. For best results, try picking your own cucumbers from a local farm or farmers' market.

Steps:
- Place cucumbers, onions, pickling salt, and water in a large, non-reactive bowl. Cover and allow cucumbers to soak for 2 hours. Drain the water from the onions and cucumbers through a colander and rinse well for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- Combine the vinegars, sugar, mustard seeds, turmeric, cloves, garlic, and peppers in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and add the cucumbers and onions. Bring to a simmer and remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Fill each of the hot sterilized pint-size preserving jars with the pickle mixture, dividing them evenly, and enough of the liquid to come within 1/2-inch of the top. Add 1/2 teaspoon of Natural Pickle Crisp to each jar, if desired. With a clean damp towel, wipe the rim and fit with a hot lid. Screw on the metal ring just until the point of resistance is met. Process the jars in a hot-water bath for 15 minutes.
- Using tongs, remove the jars, place on a towel, and let cool. Test the seals by allowing the jars to stand at room temperature overnight or until the lids pop. Tighten the rings and store in a cool dry place. Let the pickles age for at least 2 weeks before using.
GREAT AUNT VERA'S SWEET MUSTARD PICKLE
My Grandmother's sister's recipe... it's at least 70 years old. I usually hate pickle but I love this one :) Excellent use for all the home grown green tomatoes that never go red. Great on crackers w/cheese, in a cold meat sandwich etc. It does make a LOT though... but you shouldn't have a problem giving it as gifts tc.. Our family and friends are always coming back for more:) This makes at least 19 LARGE jars.. so I'd recommend cutting the recipe down to 1/4 if you want to make this the first time..)

Steps:
- Cut up vegetables, add the salt, cover with cold water and leave to stand overnight.
- Pour off the liquid next morning, put vegetables in to big pan (or several as necessary) and cover with vinegar.
- Add sugar and cook until soft.
- Mix the flour, mustard, turmeric, curry and mix to a smooth paste with some cold vinegar.
- Remove main mixture from heat and add paste in stages VERY carefully to the main mixture (too much too quick and it will become lumpy) Stir well and boil for 5 minutes.
- Bottle in screw-top jars.
- Refrigerated, this stuff keeps for months and months.
- Note: This makes at least 19 large jars, so I'd highly recommend doing a 1/2 or 1/4 recipe first!
AUNT AGNES' GARLIC DILL PICKLES
I can think of no better contribution a cucumber can make than becoming a pickle! This recipe is another handwritten family cookbook classic from my step-grandmother and great aunt, Agnes (oh, these convoluted Southern families ;). It is important to make sure your vinegar is of a high quality--don't go generic. We usually use Heinz brand. Also, this recipe is for 7-8 quarts, so adjust accordingly based on how many cucumbers you have (or their size!).

AUNT POLY'S SWEET PICKLES
You just have to eat these pickles to understand how good they are. I will never again make this type pickles from scratch. These are just as good and a lot less trouble. The cook time is actually refrigerator time, since you don't do any cooking on this. Special thanks to my Aunt Poly Cole for this recipe.
