Crunchy Bread & Butter Pickles
- 16 cups Firm Cucumbers, Sliced 1/4 Inch
- 6 Medium Onions, Halved And Sliced 1/4 Inch
- 1/2 cups Pickling Salt
- Crushed Ice
- 5 cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Turmeric
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Celery Seed
- 2 Tablespoons Mustard Seed
- 5 cups Cider Vinegar
- In large glass bowls, combine sliced cucumbers, sliced onions and pickling salt with crushed ice. Cover with a weighted plate and let stand for 3 hours (this is the secret to having them crisp!) Drain thoroughly and put into a large kettle pot. Add sugar, tumeric, celery seed, mustard seed and vinegar. Bring ALMOST to a boil, stirring often with a wood spoon. You want it hot enough to melt sugar, but not cook the cucumbers. Remove from heat.
- Pack pickles in canning jars, seal and process per canning directions.
- Yields about 7 pints.
