SWEET AND HOT REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

Steps:

• Makes about 3 pints.
• In a large mixing bowl, toss together cucumbers, onion, and salt. Cover mixture with a clean, dry dishtowel, then cover surface with ice cubes (keeping the salted cucumbers very cold ensures crunchy pickles). Refrigerate for about 3 hours, until vegetables have released some liquid. Rinse well under cold running water to remove excess salt. Drain and set aside.
• In a large saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, and spices. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add vegetables to pot and bring to just under a boil. Remove pan from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to jars or other containers with tight-fitting lids. Cover vegetables with brine, cover containers, and refrigerate.
• Pickles keep, refrigerated, for several weeks.

Process the jars in a hot-water bath for 15 minutes.
