Refrigerator Pickles

4 cups sugar

4 cups vinegar

1/2 cup salt

1 1/3 tsp turmeric

1 1/3 tsp celery seed

1 1/3 tsp mustard seed

3 onions, sliced thin

Cucumbers

Mix sugar, vinegar and spices together, do not heat.

Wash and sterilize three large peanut butter jars, or 8 small ones (quart jars). 

Slice 1 onion into each jar. Slice cucumber to fill the jar. Stir syrup well and pour over cucumbers and onions. Screw on lids. Refrigerate at least 5 days before using. Keep in refrigerator until read to serve. These will keep for up to 1 year refrigerated, but I bet they won't last that long!
