Method

  • Finely chop the cucumbers and onions.
  • Note: I used my food processor for chopping, but be careful not to over process.
  • Place the chopped vegetables in a large nonreactive bowl and sprinkle with the pickling salt.
  • Stir well and allow to stand for 1 hour.
  • Drain the cucumber mixture in a colander; rinse with cold water and drain well.
  • In a large pan, bring vinegar, sugar, garlic, dill seed, mustard seed, celery seed and turmeric to a boil over medium high heat.
  • Add the drained cucumber and onion mixture and return to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Pour into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space.
  • Seal with lids and rings and process the jars in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
