Granny's gone and done it again

Started making Christmas gifts today. Got 4 quarts of cuke refrigerator pickles made.

8 cups peeled and sliced cukes, I remove the "cores" if they are to large.
1 cup sliced peppers or celery
1 cup sliced onions

sprinkle 1 & 1/2 TBls of salt over and let sit for 1/2 hour then drain and rinse "just a bit"

Brine:

2 cups sugar
1 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp celery seed
1 cup vinegar. you choice I use white.

brine requires frequent stirring to get all the sugar to dissolve.

Actually you should make the brine first.

put into jars and seal tight. then into fridge will keep for months and months and months

Sounds good Twist.

juice would give you more flavor. BUT get the Unsweetened type/kind

I remember like tomatoes, if it isnt acidic you add lemon juice.

maybe I should. Tom wanted some fried apples though. We like them w/ breakfast.

do you put/add onions to yours ???

great side with pork chops or roast as well.

Sorry, I've never made it. Wouldn't there be a recipe in the box of pectin? There's recipes for other kinds of jellies and jams.

Never seen one. I will google tomorrow. My GM taught only me to make it. I wanted to make it like she did. Pizzes me off I have forgotten.

Twist, I use the peel and core then freeze the apples but I cant remember if I boil that on apple juice or water .

Huh. I would start with a jar of apple juice! Or is that cheating?

you can also put your version over ice cream. Maybe with a little vanilla and cinnamon if you like
