- 2 / 3 cup of Sugar (adjust to taste, max 1 Cup)
- 2 Cucumbers
- 2 Tablespoons Pickling Spices
- 1/2 Teaspoon Celery Seed
- 3 Tablespoons Salt
- 2 cups Distilled Vinegar
- 2 Red Onions (chopped)
Instructions
- Slice cucumbers into about ¼ thick slices, making sure to discard end pieces.
- Place all cucumber slices in a large dish and cover with about half the salt, making sure to spread it evenly over the pieces.
- Carefully start layering onions on top of pickles, spreading the remainder of salt on top of the mixture (do not mix).
- Cover the cucumber and onion mixture and set aside 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Uncover and mix the cucumber and onion mixture with a fork. Cover and let sit again for another 1 hour 30 minutes. Put the cucumber mixture aside.
- In a bowl, mix all the spices and sugar. Place spices in your chosen jar(s). Place vinegar in a jar, making sure to leave enough room for the cucumber mixture (DO NOT PLACE THEM IN THE JAR YET). Mix spice mixture and vinegar well in the jar(s). Put aside.
- In a large calendar, wash the cucumber and onion mixture. Strain as much water as possible.
- Start placing cucumber mixture in your jar, careful not to overfill the jar.
- Pour remaining vinegar on top of cucumber and onion mixture, making sure it is completely submerged. Cover with the jar lid.
- Let chill in the fridge for a minimum of 24 hours before using. For more extended curing, make sure to shake the jar once or twice carefully. Toss after a week if you have not used the proper canning procedure.
