I thought I lost my recipe and almost had a heart attack!! So here it is. I've been making this for years and every single one who tries the pickles absolutely love them. I hope you do too! Ingredients:
4 quarts cucumbers, medium size sliced (about 6lbs) |
1 1/2 cups onions, sliced (about 12-15 small white, about 1 lb) |
2 large garlic cloves |
1/3 cup salt |
24 ice cubes |
4 1/2 cups sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric |
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds |
2 tablespoons mustard seeds |
3 cups white vinegar |
Directions:
1. Wash cucumbers thoroughly using a vegetable brush and drain on a rack.
2. Slice unpeeled cucumbers into 1/8-1/4 thick slices. I use a food processor for this step.
3. Add onions and garlic.
4. Add salt and mix thoroughly.
5. Cover with ice cubes, allow to sit for 3 hours.
6. Drain thoroughly, remove garlic.
7. Combine sugar, spices and vinegar.
8. Heat just to a boil.
9. Add cucumbers and onions and heat 5 minutes.
10. Pack loosely into clean, pint jars. Adjust lids.
11. Process in a boiling waterbath for 5 minutes.
12. Start to count processing time as soon as the water returns to boiling.
13. Times are approximate.
