Fridge Pickles

This recipe is from my mother-in-law, so you know it's going to be a keeper!

Bring to a boil:
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups vinegar

2 Tbsp pickling salt (Himalayan salt works as well, but pickling salt gives a clearer brine)

1 Tbsp mustard seeds

1 Tbsp turmeric

1 Tbsp celery seed

Cool and pour over:

an ice cream pail of cucumbers (4L)

1 large onion

2 garlic cloves

Cover, let sit for 24 hours. This gave me 4 (pasta sauce sized) jars of pickles.

I added one red pepper, cut into short strips. Looks nice, tastes delicious.
