  Soak overnight in lime and water in a porcelain container (use
  non-aluminum). 2. Wash, drain; soak in clear water and covered with
  ice cubes for 3 hours. Drain. 3. Put in large pot. Cover with water
  and other ingredients for the boiling solution. Boil for 1 hour; then
  drain. 4. Make syrup and bring to boil to dissolve sugar. Use one
  cinnamon stick for each jar you think you will have. Pour syrup over
  cucumbers and let stand overnight. 5. Drain syrup from cucumbers into
  separate pan and bring to a boil. Pour back over cucumbers. After
  cool, cover with Saran wrap.

  fourth morning, heat syrup again. While heating, pack cucumbers in
  sterilized pint jars (larger jars can be used) with cinnamon stick.

  jars. Putting in water bath is optional. Recipe from Suzy Hron (my
