Cut the ends off of\u00a0each cucumber and cut in half. Take a spoon and scoop out the seeds by dragging it down the middle of the cucumber half.\u00a0 Cut into quaters and cut into thick slices. Place cucumbers, chopped up califlower and sliced and parted onions in the salted water.\u00a0 Make sure vegetables are covered in the water, or dissolve a table spoon of salt in a few cups of water and pour over to have them covered.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amandamackay.com\/handmade-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mustard-pickles.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-383\" style=\"border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"mustard-pickles\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amandamackay.com\/handmade-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mustard-pickles.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.amandamackay.com\/handmade-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mustard-pickles.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.amandamackay.com\/handmade-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/mustard-pickles-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a> I use gloves for cutting up the onions because\u00a0I hate the smell it leaves on my hands, then you dont ahve to wait days to <strong>get the onion smell off your hands<\/strong>! \ud83d\ude42<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amandamackay.com\/handmade-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/cucumbers-pickling.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-379\" style=\"border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"cucumbers-pickling\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amandamackay.com\/handmade-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/cucumbers-pickling.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.amandamackay.com\/handmade-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/cucumbers-pickling.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.amandamackay.com\/handmade-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/cucumbers-pickling-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>THE NEXT DAY: <\/strong>Get a large pot of\u00a0 water and put jars and covers in the pot and start the boiling. You need to get your jars ready, you cannot over boil them so take your time!<\/li>\n<li><strong><\/strong>SOOO its been 24 hours! Drain the vegetables well, and rinse them well in cold water a few times, you want to get the salt taste off a little!<\/li>\n<li>In another pot, combine sugar, flour, mustard, celery seeds and tumeric in a large saucepan, stir these dry ingredients\u00a0until well mixed.\u00a0Mix in\u00a0vinegar and water.

Stuff with just the veggies and sit aside uncovered(I used the funnel and a cup to get the veggies in)<\/li>\n<li>When the sauce is done, pour immediately into the jars(using the jar funnel again if you have one) watching the sauce sink and waiting for it to go through the veggies, take a butter knife to remove the bubbles!!!! \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>After jars are full, remove covers(the tongs should get them out leave the water boiling), wipe rims with a damp cloth and using over mits or a dishtowel, put the covers on tightly and immediately return to the boiling water. NOTE: you may need to remove some of the water as the jars are now full!<\/li>\n<li>Process 10 minutes for pints (500 ml) jars and 15 minutes for quart (1 L) jars.<\/li>\n<li>Now take the jars out of the boiling water, I dump the water down the sink and grab the bottles with oven mitts.<\/li>\n<li>Wait for the popping!!!! To know the jars are sealed, you will hear the covers pop as they cool, this could take 2 minutes or 2 hours, but you can always check by pushing the cover to see if it moves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These instructions are as detailed as I can remember to answer all the questions\u00a0I had as this was my first time, my second time went much better this these few mistakes corrected!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Why make pickles?
