INGREDIENTS:
7 1/2 lbs. medium cucumbers
1 medium onion
1/2 cup salt + 1 tablespoon
Syrup:2 1/2 cups white vinegar
2 3/4 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon whole black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground tumeric
DIRECTIONS:
1) Wash and slice cukes 1/8″ thick and cover with salt. Mix well and let stand for one hour. Use enamel or porcelain pan. Slice onions and sprinkle with salt and let stand one hour. Rinse and drain well.
2) Mix all syrup ingredients in kettle to dissolve sugar. Bring to a boil. Add onions and cukes and stir often to mix well. Bring to a boil. Put in jars and seal.
NOTES: This was very exciting to make. It was fun listening to the jars pop as they sealed. Great recipe Grammy! I have to note that she originally received this recipe from Great Grandma Helen and Great Aunt Karen years ago. I think that they obtained it from a McCall’s Magazine.
