INGREDIENTS
- 6 lb pickling cucumbers, 4 to 6 inches in length
- 3 medium onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup canning salt
For the brine:
- 3 cups distilled white vinegar (5%)
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp whole cloves
- 1 1/2 tsp celery seed
- 2 tsp mustard seed
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp canning salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the cucumbers. Cut 1/16-inch off the blossom end of each cucumber and discard. Cut into 1/4-inch slices. Combine cucumbers, onion, and salt in a large bowl. Mix to combine and cover with ice cubes. Refrigerate for 4 hours, adding more ice as needed.
- Prepare the water bath: 8 pint jars, lids, and rings.
- Prepare the brine. In a 4-quart kettle, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, turmeric, cloves, celery seed, mustard seed, and red pepper flakes. Stir to dissolve the sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer to keep the brine warm.
- Prepare the jars. Drain the cucumbers and onions. Pack sterilized jars with drained cucumbers and onions, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Pour brine over prepared cucumbers and onions, still leaving that 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to remove any drips. Place on lids and rings, tightening to fingertip tightness.
- Place jars in the boiling water bath. Bring back to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Check with the USDA canning guide and adjust the processing time for altitude.
- Remove from the water bath and cool for 12 to 24 hours. Remove rings to ensure a good seal and store for up to one year.
