Cassia Bud Sweet Pickles Recipe

Cassia Bud Sweet Pickles Notes

This is a family favorite. Very easy. Doesn't require the days of soaking like other Cassia Bud Pickle recipes do.

Ingredients

• 4 quarts unpeeled medium cucumbers, sliced 1/8" thick
• 7 1/3 cups vinegar
• 3 tablespoons salt
• 1 tablespoon mustard seed
• 2 1/4 teaspoons celery seed
• 2 1/4 teaspoons cassia buds

Serves / Yields

6 pints

Preparation Instructions

Simmer cucumber slices with 4 cups vinegar, salt, mustard seed and 1/4 cup sugar. Cover until partially tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard liquid. Place cucumber slices in hot sterilized jars. Boil together remaining 3 1/2 cups vinegar, 5 3/4 cups sugar, celery seed and cassia seed. Boil until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Pour immediately over cucumbers. Seal immediately. Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
