Ingredients

2 quarts cucumbers ; sliced 1/8" thick

1 quart onions ; sliced 1/8" thick

1/3 cup salt

3 cups vinegar

2 1/2 cups sugar

3 tablespoons mustard seed

3 teaspoons celery seed

1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric

1 1/2 teaspoons alum

Directions

Sprinkle salt over cucumbers and onion in a large kettle, let stand for one hour and then drain off the liquid.

Add remaining ingredients except the alum powder, stir together and bring to a boil to scald the pickles.

Sprinkle alum powder over mixture, stir to combine, then ladle pickles into hot jars and seal.

Process in water bath for 5 minutes for pints, 10 minutes for quarts. (Start counting time after water returns to a boil.)

Makes about 5 pints.

Note: You should be able to find alum powder in the spices section of your grocery store or with the canning supplies during the summer.
