Refrigerator Pickles

My dad and my grandma both kept these pickles in the refrig. at all times, I think. I made an ice cream bucket of them some years ago and left them in the church fridge since we had "supper" together every Sunday night after the service. They bring back memories ...remember when you ALWAYS had pickles on the table for every meal?

Refrigerator Pickles

4 c sugar
4 c vinegar
1/2 c salt
14-16 cukes, sliced
3 onions, sliced
1 1/2 tsp tumeric
1 1/4 tsp mustard seed
1 1/4 tsp celery seed

Mix sugar, vinegar, salt and spices in a container and mix well. (do not heat this syrup).  In a gallon jar or pail,  place a layer of sliced oniones, then a layer of cukes until all is used. Pour syrup over thsi and put in fridge. Don't use for at least 1 week. (Don't can in jars. They'll keep in the fridge for 9 months.)
