But, pickles are nothing more than vegetables soaked in vinegar, sugar and spices. Change up the vinegar, change up the spices and you have different flavored pickles from dill pickles to bread and butter pickles to these cinnamon pickles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe comes courtesy of Michael and Melanie, my kid brother and sister-in-law. I am not going to lie, these look like a lot of work at first glance. <strong>FIVE DAYS!<\/strong> to make them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, I promise, pickles are easy to make. It really isn't much more than boiling water\/vinegar\/spices. These just need more boiling and draining than the kinds I usually make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, I just sent them some <a href=\"https:\/\/thatrecipe.com\/2013\/06\/12\/spicy-pickled-beets\/\">Spiced Pickled Beets<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thatrecipe.com\/2018\/06\/19\/homemade-giardiniera\/\">Giardiniera<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thatrecipe.com\/2018\/02\/20\/lavender-orange-marmalade\/\">Lavender Orange Marmalade<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/thatrecipe.com\/2017\/10\/31\/pomegranate-cranberry-jam\/\"> Spicy Pomegranate Cranberry Jam<\/a> for their birthdays.

HINT HINT \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special Ingredients for Cinnamon Pickles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two ingredients that may be new to you are alum and pickling lime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alum - find it in the spice aisle. Get a small container because you probably won't use it for much else. Though it can be used as a canker sore remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pickling lime - to make the pickles crisp. No, I do not mean the little green citrus fruit. Find it in the canning section with the jars and lids and other goodies or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2z0Ub0b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">order online<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Pickling Lime Safely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Warnings!<\/strong> Only buy food grade pickling lime and be sure to rinse and soak and rinse to get the lime out before proceeding with the pickles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simplified canning chemistry lesson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>pickling lime is an alkaline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>vinegar is an acid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>botulism bacteria cannot live in an acidic environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>alkaline + acid = neutral pH = happy botulism bacteria = possible food poisoning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be
