Time 2h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 cucumbers, thinly sliced
3 onions, sliced
¼ cup salt
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon celery seed
½ teaspoon mustard seed
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
4 1-pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Mix cucumbers and onions together in a bowl. Stir in salt and let sit for 2 hours.
  • Stir vinegar, water, sugar, celery seed, mustard seed, ginger, and turmeric together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; add cucumber mixture and continue to boil until cucumbers and onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the hot cucumber mixture into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool dark area.

These pickles are a staple in my fridge. I always have a jar on hand for sandwiches, salads, and snacks.

I like to make a big batch of these pickles and then give them away as gifts. They're always appreciated.

These pickles are a great way to use up extra cucumbers from the garden.

I've been making these pickles for years and they're always a hit. I love the way the spices and vinegar meld together.

These pickles are so easy to make, and they taste just like the ones my grandma used to make.

I wasn't sure how the pickles would turn out, but I'm so glad I tried them. They're the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

I made a double batch of these pickles because I knew they would go fast. I'm glad I did because they were gone in a week!

I used a mix of different cucumbers, including some small pickling cucumbers and some larger slicing cucumbers. They all turned out great.

The pickles were easy to make and turned out so crispy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.
