Ingredients

  • 3 cups distilled white vinegar

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ⅓ cup coarse salt

  • 6 small onions, sliced

  • 1 teaspoon mustard seed

  • ¾ teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 1 teaspoon celery seed

  • 6 cucumbers, sliced

Directions

  1. Inspect four quart-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water for at least 5 minutes. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.

  2. Bring vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Meanwhile, combine onions, mustard seed, celery seed, and turmeric in a large pan.

  3. Pour boiling vinegar mixture over onion mixture, then add cucumber slices. Pack into hot, sterilized 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 lids and screw rings on tightly. Refrigerate for two weeks before eating.
