Sweet Freezer Pickles

Ingredients

3 cups thinly-sliced onion
1 cup cider vinegar
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon celery seeds
7 cups medium-sliced cucumber slices

Method

Combine cider vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds and celery seeds in a saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and the mixture is just at the boiling point. Set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, peel and slice cucumbers and onions and combine in a large, non-reactive bowl. Pour vinegar mixture over cucumber mixture and stir well to coat. Refrigerate about 12 hours and then pack in freezer containers.

Comments: I combined two recipes, one from Susan Burgess and one that I found in the Columbus Dispatch, to come up with this recipe. Excellent pickles, sweet and tasty.
