Ingredients
For the Pickles
- 2
small to medium Kirby cucumbers
- 1/2 cup
distilled white vinegar
- 1/2 cup
sugar
- 2 tsp.
pickling spice
- 1 Tbsp.
kosher salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
For the Sandwiches
- 8
large slices crusty white bread
- 3/4 cup
Miracle Whip
- 4
large leaves iceberg lettuce
- 1 lb.
country ham, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Step 1For the pickles: Lop off the tops and bottoms of the cucumbers, then slice them 1/4 inch thick. Put in a small heatproof bowl.
- Step 2Bring the vinegar, sugar, pickling spice, salt, cayenne and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 1/2 hours and up to 5 days.
- Step 3For the sandwiches: Lay 4 bread slices on a cutting board and spread each slice with 2 tablespoons Miracle Whip. Top each with a lettuce leaf and some ham. Drain the& pickles and pile on top of the ham. Season generously with black pepper.
- Step 4Spread the remaining 4 bread slices with 1 tablespoon Miracle Whip each. Put on top of the sandwiches.
