- Step 1
Wash the cucumbers. Slice paper thin. Slice the onions paper thin, and mix with the cucumbers and salt in a very large container, at least 10 quarts. Add enough water to the 4 cups of ice to make 2 gallons of ice water. Mix the ice water with the cucmbers, onions and salt. Set aside for at least 3 hours. Then, drain thoroughly.
- Step 2
Sterilize 8 one-pint canning jars with new lids by boiling jars and lids for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, but leave jars in the hot water.
- Step 3
In a 6-to-8-quart saucepan, mix the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Add cucumbers and onions, and cook until the mixture reaches 190 degrees on a candy thermometer.
- Step 4
Pack the mixture into hot sterilized canning jars. Wipe rims, and seal. Place the jars in boiling water to cover, and cook 15 minutes after the water returns to a boil. Cool and store.

Substituted turmeric based curry powder for turmeric. Nicely sharp.

Yield was 6 pints. I think pound of cakes/pint would be a good rule of thumb.
