Ingredients

• 3 cups distilled white vinegar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.33 cups coarse salt
• 6 small onions , sliced
• 1 teaspoon mustard seed
• 0.75 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 6 cucumbers , sliced

Instructions

1. 1

   Inspect four quart-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water for at least 5 minutes. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.

2. 2

   Bring vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Meanwhile, combine onions, mustard seed, celery seed, and turmeric in a large pan.

3. 3

   Pour boiling vinegar mixture over onion mixture, then add cucumber slices. Pack into 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 lids and screw rings on tightly. Refrigerate for two weeks before eating.
