Here goes another one. Found the original recipe on Recipezaar. It had a 5 star rating based on 60 reviews. That's darn good. Of course, I can't leave well enough alone so I modified it anyway. I'd had my cukes soaking overnight and this called for a different soak. Didn't want to do it again, so I skipped their step. Otherwise, I'm not far off from their recipe. Here's how it's done.
- Lots of homegrown cucumbers. This recipe made 15 pints.
- 4 c water
- 4 c white vinegar
- 4 c sugar
- 1 T turmeric
- 2 tsp celery seed
- 2 tsp dried mustard
Rinse cukes and let drain. Slice lengthwise and pack into quart and pint jars.
Combine water, vinegar, sugar, turmeric, celery seed and mustard. Bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes. Stir and make sure there are no chunks of spices floating around.
Pour liquid over cukes in jars. Wipe glass lip and put on your jar lids (that have been boiled, of course). Place in large pot, cover with water and boil for 10 minutes.
Store for about 3 weeks to allow flavors to mature.
