Ice Water Pickles

I know what you're thinkin', they're not to my liking either. But I gotta say that alot of kids REALLY like them. Maybe yours too.

• 6 lb. medium cucumbers cut into 6 to 8 pieces according to size of cucumber
• 3 quarts white vinegar
• 1 cup salt
• 3 cups sugar
• 36 pickling onions
• 6 tsp. celery stalks
• 6 tsp. mustard seed
• 6 quart jars
  
• Soak cucumbers in ice water for 3 hours. Drain, pack into sterilized jars. Add 6 pickling onion, 1 celery, 1 tsp. mustard seed to each jar. Bring the white vinegar, salt and sugar to a boil and pour over cucumbers to within ½ inch of top of jar. Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes. These are salty-sour pickles. Will make 6 quarts.

Let me know how it goes.
