Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Tangy Million-Dollar Pickles.
Step 1
To start your pickle-making adventure, grab a large bowl and toss in your sliced cucumbers, onions, and pickling spice.
Step 2
Pour in enough water to cover the veggies, then cover the bowl and let it sit for 6 to 8 hours, or even overnight if you want the flavors to really soak in.
Step 3
While your cucumbers are soaking up all that goodness, take a moment to inspect six pint-sized jars for any cracks and check the rings for rust.
Step 4
If you find any defects, it’s best to toss them out.
Step 5
To ensure your jars are squeaky clean, place them in simmering water to sterilize until you’re ready to pack your pickles.
Step 6
Don’t forget to wash the new lids and rings in warm, soapy water to keep everything fresh.
Step 7
Once your cucumbers have soaked, drain the liquid and transfer the mixture of cucumbers, onions, and pickling spice into a large saucepan.
Step 8
Add in sugar, ground turmeric, and celery seed, then pour in enough vinegar to cover everything.
Step 9
Bring this delightful mixture to a boil over medium heat, letting those flavors meld together beautifully.
Step 10
When it’s bubbling away, carefully pack the hot pickles into your sterilized jars, leaving about a quarter-inch of space at the top.
Step 11
To ensure your pickles are perfectly packed, use a clean knife or thin spatula to gently run around the inside of the jars to release any air bubbles.
Step 12
Next, wipe the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel to remove any residue, then place the lids on top and screw the rings on tightly.
Step 13
Allow your jars to cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator.
Step 14
And just like that, you’ve created your very own homemade pickles! Enjoy the crunch and flavor of your hard work, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself making these again and again!.
