Ingredients

  1. 6 largecucumbers
  2. 3 mediumonions
  3. 3 cupsugar
  4. 3 cupapple cider vinegar
  5. 4 tspcanning salt
  6. 1 1/2 tspmustard seed
  7. 3/4 tspalum

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a LARGE bowl combine sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard seed, and alum. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Wash cucumbers thoroughly. I use baking soda in my water because that is the main ingredient in the commercial vegetable washes.

  3. 3

    I like to score mine by running.the tines of a fork down each side. Makes them look a little more decorative. Then cut into 1/4" slices.

  4. 4

    Cut onions into 1/8 to 1/4" slices. Combine cucumbers and onions in vinegar mixture. Let set for 15 to 20 minutes so the mixture shrinks a little as the cucumbers and onions release some of their juices.

  5. 5

    Put into containers and store in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
