Ingredients
- 12 medium-sized Cucumbers
- 6 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 cups White vinegar
- 0.25 cup Pickling salt
- 2 tablespoons Celery seeds
- 2 tablespoons Mustard seeds
- 2 medium-sized, thinly sliced Onions
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry.
Step 2
Slice the cucumbers thinly into even rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 3
Place the sliced cucumbers and thinly sliced onions in a large, non-reactive bowl (such as glass or ceramic).
Step 4
Sprinkle the pickling salt over the cucumbers and onions, tossing gently to evenly distribute the salt.
Step 5
In a separate large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the granulated sugar, white vinegar, celery seeds, and mustard seeds. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Step 6
Pour the vinegar mixture over the salted cucumbers and onions, ensuring that all the cucumbers are fully submerged in the liquid.
Step 7
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into airtight containers with lids.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pickles for at least 24-48 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop. Stir or shake the container occasionally during this time to redistribute the liquid and spices.
Step 9
Once ready, serve the sweet pickles chilled as a condiment, snack, or side dish. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
