Instructions
- 1 Stir 2 quarts of water and salt in a large pot until salt dissolves. Submerge cucumbers in water. Add ice to water to keep cold. Let cucumbers soak for 2 hours.
- 2 Drain salt water; rinse and drain cucumber slices twice.
- 3 Stir sugar, 4 cups water, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, mustard seed, and celery seed together in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; add cucumber slices. Simmer until cucumbers are completely hot, but do not bring to a boil, about 10 minutes.
- 4 Sterilize canning jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack cucumbers into hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw-on rings.
- 5 Let cucumbers pickle for 2 weeks before eating, shaking each jar once daily.
