Ingredients:

  • 4 quarts sliced medium-sized cucumbers
  • 6 medium white onions, sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/3 cup salt
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
  • 2 tablespoons mustard seed
  • 3 cups vinegar, 5 percent acidity

Preparation:

Slice unpeeled cucumbers thin. Add sliced onions, peppers, and whole garlic cloves. Add salt and cover with ice. Mix well. Let stand for 3 hours. Drain well. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over cucumber mixture. Bring just to a boil. Transfer to hot, sterilized 1-pint jars. Seal and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (20 minutes for 1,000 to 6,000 feet altitude). Adjust seals and store in a cool dark place for a few weeks before using.
Makes about 4 pints.
