3 pounds pickling cucumbers, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 cups sliced onions
1/2 cup pickling salt
6 cups water

3 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

2 teaspoons 100 percent Natural Pickle Crisp, optional

1
Place cucumbers, onions, pickling salt, and water in a large, non-reactive bowl.

Cover and allow cucumbers to soak for 2 hours.
3
Drain the water from the onions and cucumbers through a colander and rinse well for 5 minutes.

Drain well and set aside.

Combine the vinegars, sugar, mustard seeds, turmeric, cloves, garlic, and peppers in a medium saucepan over high heat.
6
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and add the cucumbers and onions.
7
Bring to a simmer and remove the saucepan from the heat.
8
Fill each of the hot sterilized pint-size preserving jars with the pickle mixture, dividing them evenly, and enough of the liquid to come within 1/2-inch of the top.
9
Add 1/2 teaspoon of Natural Pickle Crisp to each jar, if desired.
10
With a clean damp towel, wipe the rim and fit with a hot lid.
11
Screw on the metal ring just until the point of resistance is met.
12
Process the jars in a hot-water bath for 15 minutes.
13
Using tongs, remove the jars, place on a towel, and let cool.
14
Test the seals by allowing the jars to stand at room temperature overnight or until the lids pop.
15
Tighten the rings and store in a cool dry place.
16
Let the pickles age for at least 2 weeks before using.
