This recipe differs from the many other delicious-sounding pickled cucumber recipes in its use of mustard seed and celery seed. Mom Hoffman's recipe didn't specify the amount of mustard seed or celery seed to use, so I guessed. Preparation time doesn't include set aside time. Ingredients:
1 white onion, sliced |
2 cucumbers, sliced |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/3 cup white vinegar or 1/3 cup cider vinegar |
1/3 cup water |
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds |
1/2 teaspoon celery seed |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle the cucumber slices with the salt and set aside for 1/2 hour, then squeeze out the excess water.
2. Cook the sugar, vinegar and water in a saucepan long enough to dissolve the sugar.
3. Combine all ingredients and stir.
4. Allow at least a 1/2 hour for flavors to mingle before serving.
