These may seem a little non-traditional, but I'm posting them anyway - because my written recipe is on it's last leg and I thought JAP would be a good way to keep it. I steep them in the liquid in the fridge, then put some in freezer bags with liquid to keep on hand.

I just love the clove/cinnamon accent along with the sweet/spicy kick.

Every extra cucumber in my garden gets this treatment. The pickles are great right out of the jar, or in relishes, tuna salad...where ever you can think of.

How to Make My Sweet Spicy Pickles

Step-by-Step

In a sauce pan, bring all steeping liquid ingredients to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat.
In 2 pint jars and one 1/2 pint jar, distribute cucumber and serrano evenly. Pour liquid evenly over veggies, as well as cinnamon stick pieces.
Refrigerate over night. Keep what you want in the fridge and place the rest in freezer bags for future use. Enjoy!
