Ingredients

• 6 cups white sugar
• 4 cups water
• 4 cups sliced onions
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 10 cucumber, sliced
• 2 quarts distilled white vinegar
• 0.33000001311302 cup pickling spice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place cucumbers, onions, and pickling spice into a large bowl; pour in water. Cover and let stand for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.

Step 2

Inspect 6 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until pickles are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.

Step 3

Drain liquid from mixture, then transfer cucumbers, onions, and any pickling spice to a large saucepan. Add sugar, turmeric, and celery seed, then pour in vinegar, adjusting the amount if needed to cover everything. Bring to a boil.

Step 4

Pack pickles into the hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with the lids and screw the rings on tightly. Let cool to room temperature, then store in the refrigerator.
