Bread and Butter Pickles


½ gallon Cucumbers Sliced
½ gallon Sweet Onions, Sliced
2 cups Sugar, More Or Less To Taste
1 quart White Vinegar
2 teaspoons Salt
2 teaspoons Mustard Seed
2 teaspoons Turmeric
2 teaspoons celery seed

Soak sliced cucumbers and onions in ice water for 3 to 4 hours. Drain well. Bring sugar, vinegar, salt and spices to a boil. Add cucumbers and onions and boil about 5 minutes. Put the pickles in jars and seal while hot. Be sure the liquid covers the firmly packed pickles and onions.

Turn over and place on a towel. Leave overnight. They will seal themselves from the heat of the cooked pickles.
