REFRIGERATOR PICKLES (Bread and Butter type)
4 cups sugar
4 cups vinegar
1/2 cup salt
1 1/3 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/3 teaspoon mustard seed
3 onions, sliced thin
Cucumbers, sliced thin, (washed, but not peeled or seeded) (enough to fill about 3 quart jars)
Mix sugar, vinegar, salt, and spices. DO NOT HEAT - Syrup is COLD!
Wash and sterilize the quart jars, (about 3). Slice 1 (small) onion in each jar. Wash and slice enough cucumbers to fill these jars. Stir syrup well and pour over cucumbers and onions. Screw on lids. Refrigerate 5 days before using. Keep refrigerated when not in use.
