Candied Red Hot Cinnamon Pickles

July 15, 2020 by My Farmhouse Table 110 Comments

Candied Red Hot Cinnamon Pickles

Cucumbers are the one vegetable in my garden that seem to yield well year after year. I’m not complaining. They are great to eat fresh, in this Creamy Cucumber and Onion Salad, and pickles. Lots and lots of pickles. One of our favorites to can is this recipe for Candied Red Hot Cinnamon Pickles.

This recipe was shared with us from a family friend, Joni Houston, many years ago.

I am so thankful for that!

Now if you have been on this blog before, you know I’m normally all about simple and easy recipes.

I’m going to be upfront. This recipe is not the simplest, nor easiest recipe I have ever shared.

But…. sometimes a little bit of work and effort give you deliciousness that makes the struggle all worth it!

So trust me. Follow along. Don’t run away yet.

Let’s start by me ripping off the band-aid. These pickles are a 4 day process.

Not 4 full days. But 4 days non the less.

Day 1 to soak in the pickling solution.

Day 2 and 3 to soak in the cinnamon solution.

Day 4 to can.

But really these pickles are worth the 4 day investment.

They are delicious eating and many times we add these pickles to our relish trays or crudite platters around the holidays.

Or even gift them to family friends. Maybe that is the reason they are often called Christmas pickles.

I’m just here to bring a little Christmas in July cheer.

    I have this recipe , but would like to substitute Balls pickle crunch instead of lime , but am not sure if I should omit the first step and add it to the next step (4) with the vinegar alum and water. And pickles I don’t want to go to the trouble of making the m and they don’t come out crispy

      Hi Kay. Unfortunately, I have never used Ball’s Pickle Crunch so I’m not much help in how best to use it in this recipe. I would say to read the directions on the product and use it as close as possible to those instructions.

        Farm house table, when making these cinnamon candy pickles, do you use the weights in the crock when doing the soaking in the lime and the other time. thank you so much for your reply, I have never made them before or used a crock. I really want to try these. Thanks

          Hi Kathy! I’ve just used a plate in the past to hold down the ‘floaters’, but if you have the weights for your crock that would work the same way. I’ve also made these without any sort of weight and they turned out just as delicious. Let me know if you have any other questions.

      I believe that should work as well. Maybe read the instructions on the pickling lime to see if it has any containers it does not approve of using. I have used a glass bowl instead in the past and that worked just fine.

      Hi Judy. I personally don’t think you get much vinegar flavor in this recipe. The sugar and cinnamon candies are what is prevalent. That being said, I don’t see a reason why you couldn’t use apple cider vinegar if you wanted to.

    Hi will it hurt to leave the lime on the pickles longer then 24 hours. Also after you wash the lime off snd let them soak can you wait till the next day to cook them for the 2 hours??

      Hi Tammy. Great questions. I don’t believe it would hurt to leave the lime for longer than 24 hours, but I would probably try to not go over 36 hours. After washing the lime off and do the ice water soak, you should be able to go a little longer until cooking.

      The two days of syrup is to intensify the flavor. When you re-boil the syrup do not include the pickles. They would loose their texture.

    I would like to know something about the lime bath.
    I have looked at several recipes and the thing they seem to vary on is the Pickeling Lime… recipes call for one cup and recipes call for two cups….
    Why the variance if most everything else remains the same? What would the difference be from 1 cup to 2 cups of the lime?
    Is the reason for the lime is to intensify & preserve the crunch?

    Thank ya kindly…
    I will check back tomorrow to see your reply…

        I can never get the lime to dissolve; it concentrates in the bottom of the crock. My pickles always taste good but I wonder if there is a trick to getting it to dissolve in the water? I even used hot water this time. After ordering red hot cinnamon candies from EBAY I found oodles of them at the Colorado State Fair expo building candy display on August 30th. So ladies, look for them if you are going to a big fair that has a huge candy display!

    Hi – I’m in day 1 and all is well. Reading ahead to day 2, step 5, the word “simmer”, is that cooking them on the stove on low heat or are they in the crock soaking? I’ve split my content between two crock pot crocks as I don’t have one big crock. If this is a heating “simmer”, would it work to use the heating part of the crock pot? Thanks!

    I have a question: I am on day 1. I don’t have any stone crocks, I have mine soaking in two very large plastic Tupperware bowls. My plan is on pouring the syrup directly into these bows each day. Do you think that will work? This recipe is identical to my grandma’s but she added one small bottle of red food coloring with the alum step. Your pictures look plenty red, without food coloring. Did you use any?

    Hey! I’ve made these red hot cucumbers in the past. they were awesome. My Mother-N-Law would make these out of the large yellow cucumbers that was starting to go bad. You know the ones that even the cows wouldn’t eat. It was a way of not wasting anything. They were so good. My daughter when small would have to have some everyday for her snack. We ate them with all our meals. Nice to see this recipe out there for others to enjoy. The only thing was the older red hots were easier to dissolve. I had to comment on this recipe due to it is such a wonderful recipe. I haven’t made this in a long time but seeing it again I will for my grandchildren to enjoy. Thank you!

No one I know has these, makes them and they are a crowd pleaser for sure. I’m on Day 3- how in the world will I strain the candied mixture from the cucumbers without total havoc! I know I need to do this and reheat and pour over again for another 24 hours. Did you find any trick to it that works well?

    I am on day three and of coarse a piece broke off while draining so I had to try it. These are going to be SO GOOD!!
    I have never tried to make these before but so glad I did this time. I had some red hots but not enough for this recipe and could not find any where I live. Substituted cinnamon disks and worked just fine. Thanks for sharing!

    Can I use small candy canes for some of the red hots??

      Candy canes will have more of a peppermint flavor then cinnamon, so I wouldn’t suggest it.

    A church friend in VT always made these as gifts at Christmas. My kids loved them. She would drop some maraschino cherries in each jar, too. I think she made them with watermelon rind and big cucumbers, whichever she had on hand. I seem to remember seeing some whole cloves floating in the mixture, too. I am overrun with cukes this year, so was looking for something to do with the largest ones. This is perfect. Thanks for sharing.

      There isn’t a very good substitute, but I have been able to find the candy online (Amazon) and ordered there.

    This was my first time making these and the recipe is very on point with one exception. I actually doubled the ingredients for the liquid (the vinegar, sugar, and red hots) because I was afraid there wouldn’t be enough liquid for canning (I did the water bath method). I was spot on with doubling those ingredients. I used just about every bit of liquid after doubling it. I researched several other sites and recipes and the headspace should be 1/4” if anyone is looking for that info. Other than that one little hack with the syrup, this was a fabulous recipe! I will be making these again!

      Hi Patricia. Sorry to hear the pickles are not crisp. Day #2 with the alum solution is one of the key steps with helping to keep the pickles firm. Is your Alum old or expired?

      Not all is lost though. Go ahead and can the pickles. When you go to eat, let the jar of pickles sit in your fridge for a few days- doing this also seems to firm them up. Hope that helps.

    What part of this makes the pickles translucent? Is it lime time? Also when water bath for 4 hours , can it be shortened to 3?

      August 26, 2023 at 11:29 AM

      Yes probably the soaking time helps to to make translucent.

      Also I’m not sure what you are referencing as the water bath for 4 hours. The actual water bath to can for me on pint jars is only 10 minutes. There are soaking times that are, yes hours long, including the one step on day two where they soak in ice water for 3 hours. Is that what you are referring to?

    I finished my pickles and they still do not seen done. Cucs are still firm but almost to hard. I cubed instead of sticks. Should I have cooked longer or maybe boiled or higher simmer? Would cooking them again in syrup for short time help save them? Edible but not as good as my moms.

      I think it would depend on how thick of a cube you made. If them seemed super thick (or large) then yes, they may have needed a longer simmer time.

    So, we are in the process of making these from my aunts recipe that is pretty much the same as yours. We are on the 1st 24 hour soak. I have a couple questions. We did cucumber rings, but after washing the lime off many of them broke, so we have small pieces and they have shrunk down to half the size as they used to be. Is this normal, or did we do something wrong to make them shrink so, or was it maybe the type of cucumber we used? Also, I can’t seem to find an answer to this question- what is the purpose of several days of soaking as they are soaking once bottled til you open them? Thanks.

      Yes, sometimes there are a few broken casualties. This could be caused from the type or size of cucumber being used, so I don’t believe you did something wrong in the soaking or cooking process to cause these issues.

      The several day soak, just helps to deepen the flavor. Boiling the syrup again on day three helps to keep it thick (cukes give off a lot of moisture) and set it up well for when it comes time for canning.
