Ingredients

  • 5 1/2 cups pickling cucumbers (1 1/2 pounds) 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 3/4-1 cup sweet onion
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp mustard seed
  • 1/2 tsp celery seed
  • 1/8 tsp turmeric

Instructions

  1. Slice cucumbers 1/4 inch thick and place in a bowl.

  2. Peel and slice onion. Cut the slices into quarters. Place in the bowl with the cucumbers.

  3. Add salt to the cucumber and onion in the bowl. Stir and refrigerate for 1-1 1/2 hours.

  4. When time has passed, rinse cucumbers and onions to remove the salt. Drain the water off. Use a colander. Rinse the bowl and place the cucumbers and onions back in the bowl.

  5. In a sauce pan, bring sugar, brown sugar, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, mustard seed, celery seed and turmeric to a boil. Stir as needed so mixture will dissolve and not burn.

  6. When the sugars in the mixture have dissolved, pour over the cucumbers and onions in the bowl. Let cool for 1 1/2 hours.

  7. Then, place bread and butter pickles into jars or desired containers.

  8. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Then, share and enjoy!

  9. Note: These will be good in the refrigerator for one month.
