Description

This million-dollar pickles recipe will wow your family and friends when you pull this crunchy condiment out of your fridge. They're worth the wait.

Ingredients

10 cucumber, sliced
4 cups sliced onions
1/3 cup pickling spice
4 cups water
6 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 quarts distilled white vinegar

Directions

1 Place cucumbers, onions, and pickling spice in a large bowl; add water. Cover the bowl; set aside for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.
2 Inspect 6 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until pickles are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.
3 Drain liquid from cucumber mixture; transfer cucumbers, onions, and any pickling spice to a large saucepan. Add sugar, turmeric, and celery seeds; pour in vinegar, adjusting the amount if needed to cover everything. Bring to a boil.
4 Pack pickles into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly. Cool to room temperature, then store in the refrigerator.
