Sweet Dills

Modified from Grandma Rose

4 1/2 quarts cucumbers (I measures this sliced....I am not sure how she measured it), sliced

2 onions, thinly sliced

dill (2 heads/springs per jar)

6 cups vinegar

6 cups sugar

3/4 cup salt

1 1/2 tsp celery seed

1 1/2 tsp mustard seed

Put one head of dill and two slices of onion in each sterilized jar. Fill with cucumber slices. Top with second head of dill and two more onion slices.

Combine the rest of ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour into the jars. Seal. Process for 10 minutes. Wait a month before serving.

Makes 9 pints (we got more....we got 14 pints and 3 quarts out of about 18 cups sliced (which is 4 1/2 quarts) cucumbers...we actually had to do another batch of the brine when I ran out (I did a third of it, just kept the same ratio).
