Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (chopped) cucumbers
- 1 cup (finely chopped) onions
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
- 2 tablespoons dry mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Chop them into small, evenly-sized pieces.
Peel and finely chop the onions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cucumbers and onions with salt. Mix well and let stand for 1 hour to draw out excess moisture.
After 1 hour, drain the cucumber and onion mixture in a colander, pressing gently to remove excess liquid.
In a large pot, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, mustard seeds, mustard powder, turmeric powder, and celery seeds. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the vinegar mixture to a gentle boil, then add the drained cucumber and onion mixture.
Simmer the mixture over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cucumbers are tender and have absorbed the pickling liquid.
While the pickles are cooking, sterilize your glass jars and lids by boiling them in water or using a dishwasher with a sanitizing cycle.
Carefully ladle the hot pickle mixture into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2-inch of headspace at the top.
Seal the jars tightly and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes if storing for long-term use, or let them cool and store in the refrigerator for immediate use.
Allow the pickles to sit for at least 24 hours before serving to let the flavors develop fully.
