An old fashioned recipe that is different from most pickles. Cucumbers and onions are pickled in a mustard sauce made with turmeric and celery seed. Ingredients:
8 large cucumbers, sliced |
4 cups sliced onion |
2 tablespoons pickling salt |
2 cups white sugar |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 cups white vinegar |
1 tablespoon ground dried turmeric |
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder |
1/2 teaspoon celery seed |
2 quarts cold water, or as needed |
Directions:
1. Place the sliced cucumbers and onions into a large bowl and sprinkle the salt over the top. Fill the bowl with enough water to cover the cucumbers. Let stand for 8 to 10 hours.
2. Drain and rinse the cucumbers and onion with fresh water. Sterilize 4 (1 quart) jars and lids.
3. In a 6 quart pot, stir together the sugar and flour. Whisk in the vinegar, turmeric, mustard powder and celery seed to make a smooth paste. Add the cucumbers and onions and fill with enough water to cover. Stir, and bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Pour into hot sterilized jars filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Seal with lids and rings. Process for 10 minutes in a simmering water bath. Refrigerate any jars that fail to seal properly.
