Easy Mustard Pickles Recipes

HOW TO MAKE MUSTARD PICKLES - GREAT-GRANDMA'S RECIPE

Steps:

• Place cucumbers and onions in a large stainless steel or glass bowl.
• Mix 1 cup of pickling/canning salt with 8 cups of cold water (double this as needed if doing a larger batch of pickles). Pour over top of cucumbers and onions, add more cold water if necessary to cover the tops of the cucumbers. Use a clean plate and place on top of the cucumbers to keep them under the surface of the ice salt water.
• Fill a pint sized Mason jar with water (use a lid) and set it on top of the plate to act as a weight. Let soak for 1 to 2 hours on the counter or put the bowl in the fridge overnight or for 12 hours.
• After soaking cucumbers and onions, pour out salt water and rinse thoroughly with cold water and allow cucumbers to drain.
• Prepare water bath canner and begin warming the water.
• In a large stainless steel pot, combine sugar, dry mustard and turmeric, celery salt, and ClearJel®, then pour in a ½ cup of water, whisking until combined and smooth. Pour in vinegar and bring to a full boil while stirring.
• Once it's reached a full boil, lower heat to a simmer and stir until it thickens up, then add the cucumbers and the onions and bring to a boil. When it reaches a boil with the vegetables added, keep at a low boil and cook for 5 minutes, stir as needed.
• In jars just washed in hot soapy water and rinsed, pack the relish/pickle mixture to a ½ inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and add more product if needed to keep the ½ inch headspace. Clean the rim, put on lid and bands, and screw down to finger tip tight. Place filled jar into your water bath canner. Make sure at least 1 inch of water covers the top of the jars.
• Bring water to a full boil, once water is boiling, process pints for 10 minutes.
• Turn off heat, remove lid, and let jars sit in canner for 5 minutes. Then remove from canner and let cool and seal on a folded towel.

• These are ready to eat in 10 days.
• Keep in a glass crock or a 1 gallon jar with cheese cloth"lid". (Lay a piece of cheesecloth over the jar or crock to "Create" a lid. You can wrap a rubber band around to hold in place or use a piece of string. If using a jar, you can use the metal band that you'd use in canning but don't use the flat lid part, that's where the cheesecloth is used. This allows air in and "critters", dust, bugs etc. are kept out. If you don't do this, you may get mold in them too.)
