Ingredients
- 1 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 onion, peeled and sliced in 1/4-inch slices
- 3 cups white vinegar
- 1 tablespoons Pickle Crisp
- 1/4 cups pickling spice
- 6 cups pickling cucumbers, sliced and trimmed in 1/4-inch slices
- 1 tablespoons celery seed
- 1 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 2 tablespoons pickling or canning salt
- 2/3 cups sugar
Instructions
Step 1
Tie pickling spice in a square of cheesecloth and set aside.
Step 2
In a large glass bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and onion.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, horseradish, celery seeds, Pickle Crisp, ginger, turmeric, and the spice bag. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat, cover, and gently boil.
Step 4
Pour the pickling liquid over the cucumber mixture. Cover with waxed paper and set aside until cooled to room temperature. Discard the spice bag.
Step 5
Pack the cucumbers and onions into jars, leaving 1/2 inch of space at the top. Ladle the pickling liquid into the jars to cover the contents, ensuring 1/2 inch of headspace. Apply lids securely.
Step 6
Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. For best results, allow the cucumbers to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 weeks and consume within 3 months.
