How to Make Grammie Bea's Fabulous Mustard Pickles

  1. Combine cucumbers, onions, and salt in a large bowl. Let stand for 2 hours to draw out moisture.
  2. Drain the cucumbers and onions thoroughly. Rinse under cold water.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, mustard seeds, celery seed, turmeric, and salt.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve.
  5. Add the drained cucumbers and onions to the boiling liquid. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Pack the hot pickles into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
  7. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on altitude).
  8. Remove jars and let cool completely. Check for seals. Refrigerate after cooling. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks (though they likely won't last that long!).
