This is a very good recipe for sweet pickles.(I think) I have had very good luck with it in my first year for canning. Mine turned out good and crisp. When cutting cucumbers like sweet mixed pickles, I added a little bit of red bell pepper and also a little cauliflower to look like the bought ones. Also taste good too.

5 -6 Quarts (change servings and units)

Ingredients

30 medium cucumbers
8 large onions, sliced
1/2 cup salt
5 cups vinegar
4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons celery seeds
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon alum

Directions

1
Sprinkle salt over prepared cucumbers and onions.
2
Let set for 3 hours.
3
Mix all other ingredients together and let come to a good boil.
4
Drain vegetables and add to Vinegar mixture.
5
Bring back to a boil.
6
Put into prepared jars and seal.
7
Put in hot water bath for 10 minutes.

I think the recipe actually meant 5-6 quarts instead of pints. Some of the cucumbers I used were larger but I wound up with about 20 pints! Other wise the flavor was very good.
