Instructions

  1. 1 Peel cucumbers, halve lengthwise, and scrape out seeds with a spoon. Cut halves into 1/4-inch half-circles and place into a glass or ceramic crock. Dissolve pickling lime in about 1 quart room temperature water; pour over cucumbers, then add additional water to cover cucumbers by 1/2 inch. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours.
  2. 2 Drain cucumbers and rinse well with cold water. Place into a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Let stand at room temperature for 3 hours, then drain and rinse again.
  3. 3 Return cucumbers to the stockpot. Add 1 cup vinegar, food coloring, alum, and enough water to cover by 1/2 inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 2 hours. Drain and let cool a bit before placing into the glass or ceramic crock.
  4. 4 Stir together sugar, remaining 2 cups vinegar, 2 cups water, red hot candies, and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar and candies dissolve. Pour over warm cucumbers. Cover and let sit for 8 hours to overnight.
  5. 5 Pack pickles into hot, sterilized pint jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with the lids and screw the rings on tightly.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower the jars 2 inches apart into boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 15 to 20 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal.

  1. 1 Place zucchini slices into a 1-gallon or larger glass jar or crock. Combine 2 cups water (or the amount needed to cover zucchini) and pickling lime in a nonreactive bowl until well combined; pour over zucchini (it should completely cover zucchini). Cover the jar with plastic wrap; set aside for 24 hours.
  2. 2 Drain zucchini slices in a colander in the sink; rinse very well under running water to remove all the lime. Wash the glass jar thoroughly; place zucchini back into the jar. Cover with fresh cool water; set aside for 2 to 3 hours.
  3. 3 Drain zucchini; rinse again. Place zucchini in a large pot; stir in 1 cup vinegar, food coloring, and alum. Add enough water to cover zucchini; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 2 hours. Drain and discard liquid. Return zucchini to the glass jar.
  4. 4 Combine sugar, 3 cups water, remaining 1 cup vinegar, cinnamon sticks, and Red Hot candies in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar and candies dissolve. Pour syrup over zucchini, cover, and set aside for 24 hours.
  5. 5 Strain zucchini; transfer syrup to a small saucepan and bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat.
  6. 6 Meanwhile, inspect 8 (½-pint) jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in boiling water for at least 5 minutes, then simmer jars until mock apple rings are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  7. 7 Pack zucchini slices into hot, sterilized jars, then pour in hot syrup, filling to within ¼ inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with the lids and screw the rings on tightly.
  8. 8 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 20 minutes.
  9. 9 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, on a cloth-covered or wood surface, until cool, 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

  2. 2 Cut licorice into 3 inch sections. Working with one or two cupcakes at a time, so the frosting doesn't set before decorating, frost the cupcakes with the white frosting. Insert licorice pieces into the outer edges of the cupcakes to make the legs of the spider, 3 legs on each side (4 takes up too much space). Place two pieces of candy corn on the front of the cupcake for fangs and use two red hots as eyes. Sprinkle with decorator sugar. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
