Zucchini Pickles

2 pounds fresh, firm zucchini
2 small to medium onions
1⁄4 cup salt
2 cups sugar
3 cups cider vinegar

1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon celery salt 

Wash zucchini, then cut in 1⁄4-inch-thick slices. Peel and cut onions in quarters, then slice very thin. Combine zucchini and onion in large bowl, and cover with water. Add salt and let stand for 2 hours. Drain well.

Bring remaining ingredients to boil in large saucepan. Pour over zucchini and onions. Let stand for 2 hours.

Return mixture to saucepan and heat to boiling; boil for 5 minutes. Pack hot mixture into clean, preheated jars, leaving 1⁄4-inch headspace. Wipe rim and adjust lids. Process in hot-water bath at simmering temperature for 15 minutes. Cool.
