Instructions

Wash cucumbers thoroughly, slice them into 1/4-inch rounds, and slice onions thinly. Combine in a bowl with salt, cover with ice and water, and let stand for 3 hours.
Clean canning jars and lids. Simmer jars in a water bath canner at 180°F for about 10 minutes to keep them hot.
In a large pot, combine sugar, mustard seed, celery seed, turmeric, black peppercorns, and vinegar; bring to a boil.
Drain cucumber and onion mixture under fresh water; add to boiling brine. Return to boil.
Fill each hot jar with cucumbers and onions using a funnel, pour brine while maintaining a 1/2-inch headspace, and release air bubbles with a bubble popper.
Wipe rims clean, center lids on jars, screw on bands until fingertip tight, then return jars to canner.
Process for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude), cool jars undisturbed for up to 24 hours before checking seals.
