Crunchy Dill and Onion Chips

• 3 cups pickling cucumbers
• 12 cup onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• crushed ice
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup distilled white vinegar
• 18 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon dill seed

1. Remove stems and blossom ends of cucumbers, then slice crosswise into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices; combine with sliced onions.
2. Set a colander over a bowl and alternate layers of cucumbers/onions, and crushed ice, ending with the ice.
3. Cover mixture and weight down (I used 2 small colanders in two separate bowls and stacked them).
4. Refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours (I left them about 3 days because I was busy, to no ill effects).
5. Rinse and drain cucumbers and onions with cold water.
6. In a heavy pot, combine water, vinegar, sugar, and salt; heat to boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
7. Pack cucumbers/onions into a hot, sterilized pint jar; top with dill seeds.
8. Pour hot liquid over cucumbers to cover.
9. Let cool, then cover and store in the refrigerator.
