Aunt Ruthie’s Sweet Refrigerator Pickles (for Amy ’cause she’s sweet like my pickles)

7 cups cucumbers(sliced)

1 cup onion(sliced)

2 TBSP salt

Cover bowl with plate.  Refrigerate overnight. Drain.

2 cups sugar

1 cup vinegar

1 tsp celery seed

Heat just until sugar melts.  Pour over cukes and onions.

Put in jars and leave in refrigerator.

I added a few slices of fresh ginger to my great aunt’s recipe.
