Ingredients
-
19 cups water
1 cup pickling salt
1/2 cup white vinegar
alum (1 tbsp alum per 1 gallon of sliced cucumbers)
12 lbs pickling cucumbers, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
4 lbs sliced onions
6 cups white vinegar
3 cups apple cider vinegar
6 cups sugar
6 tbsp mustard seeds
2 tbsp tumeric
2 tbsp celery seeds
3 tsp ginger
3 tsp peppercorns
Directions
In a large crock, glass or plastic container, place freshly picked washed cucumbers, fill with 19 cups water, and soak over night in the refrigerator.
The next day, add 1 cup pickling salt and 1/2 cup white vinegar. Place a glass plate on top with enough weight to hold the cucumbers in the brine. Soak for 6 to 8 days in the refrigerator.
After 6 to 8 days in the brine, drain and wash the cucumbers. Slice the cucumbers, measure by the gallon and place back in the same washed container. Add 1 tbsp alum per gallon of sliced cucumbers and cover with water. Soak for 4 days in the refrigerator.
After 4 days in alum water, rinse and drain the cucumber slices.
In a large stock pot, combine vinegars, sugar, mustard seeds, tumeric, celery seeds, ginger and peppercorns over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and add sliced cucumbers and sliced onions. Bring to a boil.
Pack hot pickles and liquid into jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust two-piece caps.
Process jars in a hot-water bath for 10 minutes.
Remove jars from the bath, cool to room temperature and check to ensure lids seal.
Let pickles cure 4-6 weeks before using.
