Million-Dollar Pickles
Ingredients
- 10 cucumber, sliced
- 4 cups sliced onions
- 1/3 cup pickling spice
- 4 cups water
- 6 cups white sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 2 quarts distilled white vinegar
Steps
- Place cucumbers, onions, and pickling spice in a large bowl; add water. Cover the bowl; set aside for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.
- Inspect 6 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until pickles are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.
- Drain liquid from cucumber mixture; transfer cucumbers, onions, and any pickling spice to a large saucepan. Add sugar, turmeric, and celery seeds; pour in vinegar, adjusting the amount if needed to cover everything. Bring to a boil.
- Pack pickles into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly. Cool to room temperature, then store in the refrigerator.
