Turmeric Pickles
By Fran Petrychyn
Makes approx. 6 quarts
1 gallon cucumbers peeled and cubed
2 quarts sliced of diced onion approx. I use less
4 Tbsp pickling salt
Mix and let stand over night Drain in the morning In a large heavy pot add to cucumbers and onions,
2 quarts or more of last years canned stewed ripe tomatoes
2 small stalks diced of celery
1 Tbsp turmeric
1 and a half cups of vinegar
7 cups sugar
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (careful its hot when doubling recipe I make it a scant measure)
Cook till tender
When tender, thicken with cornstarch made runny with vinegar. Boil. Careful it spits because it is a heavy pickle. Keep on heat and fill hot jars and seal with hot lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
