BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES 4 qt. sliced cucumbers (approximately 1 1/2 inches around) 1/2 c. canners salt 4 medium size onions 3 c. cider vinegar 1 Tbsp. powdered mustard 1 Tbsp. mustard seed 2 tsp. turmeric 2 tsp. celery seed 3 c. sugar Place cucumbers, salt and enough water to just cover cucumbers in large pan (stainless steel, plastic or porcelain) and soak over- night. Drain cucumbers in colander. Slice peeled onions on cucumbers. Prepare syrup with vinegar, sugar and spices. Bring to boil. Put in cucumbers and bring to boil and cook for 5 minutes. Pack into hot sterilized jars and seal at once. Can be eaten right away. When making bigger batches of pickles, I use 4 quarts of cucum- bers at a time but with each new batch I add half again the vinegar, sugar and spices to keep solution strong.
