I got this recipe from my MIL and she got it from the newspaper. The orginial poster is Mary Ellen Largent from Morgan County WV. I started making these last year when my cucumber plants decided to over produce. They keep for 6 or months in the fridge. They are enjoyed by all here. Not to sweet and not to sour. Note cooking time is refrigeration time.
Ingredients:
10 medium cucumbers, sliced (maybe more)
4 -8 onions, sliced
3 1/2 cups sugar
3 cups white vinegar
1/3 cup salt
1 teaspoon alum
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon turmeric
Directions:
1. Fill gallon jar with sliced cucumbers and 4 to 8 onions (depending on your taste).
2. Pour mixture over cucumbers and onions and place jar in refrigerator. Shake once a day for six days. Then pickles are ready for use. Store pickles in refrigerator where they will keep for several months (if you do not eat them before).
3. Note: cooking time is actually refrigeration time.
