Canned Sweet Spicy Pickles
Description
This recipe for Canned Sweet Spicy Pickles involves preparing a pickling liquid by boiling water, vinegar, sugar, and salt, then mixing in chili ketchup for sweetness and heat. Dill sprigs are placed in sterilized jars, filled tightly with prepared cucumbers that have been washed and trimmed, and covered with the hot pickling brine. The sealed jars are baked at low temperature to help with sterilization and to let the pickles absorb the flavors, causing a slight darkening of the cucumber color which indicates infusing. After oven processing, jars are flipped and rested at room temperature before long-term storage. The result is pickles that blend sweet, spicy, and tangy notes with dill freshness, suitable for a variety of condiments or snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 qts water
- 1 1/4 cups vinegar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp salt
- 1 cup chili ketchup
- 1 bunch dill sprigs
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt over high heat. Once the mixture boils, turn off the heat, mix in the ketchup, and set the mixture aside.
- Next, preheat the oven to 215°F to sterilize the jars. Wash all the jars and lids with hot, soapy water. Place them in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are completely dry.
- Wash the cucumbers in cold water and slice off the ends.
- Fill the bottom of each jar with a handful of dill sprigs and fill the jars tight with cucumbers.
- Pour the pickling brine all the way to the top of the jar. Cover the jar with the lid, but not too tight.
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Place the jars in the oven for about 20 minutes. Once the cucumbers darken in color slightly, immediately remove them from the oven.
- Close all the lids really tight and flip the jars upside down. Cover them with a towel and allow them to sit at room temperature for 4-5 hours.
- Store the jars in a cool place for up to a year. Enjoy!
