Bread & Butter Pickles
4 quarts medium cucumbers, sliced ( I run the tines of a for down the sides of the cuke for prettier slices)
6 medium white onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic
1/3 cup salt
5 cups sugar
3 cups cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp turmeric
1 1/2 tsp celery seed
2 tsp mustard seed
Do not peel cucumbers before slicing! Combine sliced cucumbers , sliced onion, whole garlic cloves and salt. I use a roasting pan. Mix thoroughly and cover completely with cracked ice. Let stand for 3 hours. Drain well. Combine the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Pour over cucumbers, & heat just to a boil. Seal in Hot Sterilized Jars.
Yield: 8 pints
