Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pickling cucumbers
  • 16 ounces white vinegar
  • 32 ounces water
  • 1 ½ tablespoons pickling spice (wrapped in cheesecloth)
  • 1 tablespoon pickling salt
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ cup finely chopped horseradish (peeled and chopped horseradish root), divided

Instructions

  • In a large pot combine the vinegar, water, pickling spice (wrap in cheesecloth for easy removal), salt, sugar, and honey. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature. Remove the pickling spice. 
  • Pour ¼ cup each chopped horseradish into two clean pickle jars. Slice the cucumbers around ¼ inch thick. Pack into the jars. 
  • When the brine has cooled pour it over the cucumbers. Cover the jars with the lids tightly and shake to mix. Keep refrigerated, and open after at least 3 days.
