| Quantity: 15 jars (2 cups/500 mL) | Preparation time: 1:00 hr. Cooking time: 0:20 hr. |
| 24 cups | medium size cucumbers | 6 L |
| 6 | medium size onions | 6 |
| 1 cup | coarse salt | 250 mL |
| 6 cups | white vinegar | 1.5 L |
| 6 cups | sugar | 1.5 L |
| 1/2 cup | mustard seed | 125 mL |
| 1 tbsp | celery seed | 15 mL |
| 1/4 tsp | cayenne pepper | 1 mL |
Wash cucumber thoroughly.
Slice cucumber and onions to the same size (rather thin).
Sprinkle coarse salt over slices and let stand at least 3 hours. Drain.
Combine vinegar, sugar & seasoning, and bring to boil.
Add cucumbers and onions. Heat to simmering. Be careful to avoid boiling as that makes pickles soft.
Put into hot sterile jars and seal immediately.
