Bread and Butter Pickle Recipe

4 quarts sliced medium cukes (about 25)

3 cups sliced onions (about 4 medium)

3 cloves garlic, sliced

1/3 cup canning salt

5 cups sugar

3 cups cider vinegar

1-1/2 tsp. turmeric

1-1/2 tsp. celery seed

2 Tbsp. mustard seed

hot red pepper flakes (optional)

Combine cucumbers, onions, and garlic. Add salt; cover with cracked ice; mix thoroughly. Let stand three hours, drain well. Combine remaining ingredients, and bring to a boil. Add cucumber mixture and reheat just to a boil. Seal in hot, sterilized jars and process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10-15 minutes or so to ensure a seal. One trick is to not overfill the jars with cucumbers.
