4 quarts sliced cucumbers 6 medium onions, sliced in rings 3 cloves garlic (peeled) 2 green bell peppers, sliced in rings
Sprinkle 1/3 c pickling salt over the above and cover with ice for 3 hours.
Drain and add:
2 Tbsp mustard seed 1 1/2 tsp celery seed 1 1/2 tsp tumeric 5 c sugar 3 c cider vinegar
Pour over cucumbers, onions, garlic & peppers, stir and cook in large roaster pan until cucumbers and peppers are done. I usually cook these 15-20 minutes after they come to a boil. Stir often. Pack in hot jars and seal.

Connie, Thank~You for posting that recipe...
Well, those do sound reasonable easy!!!
Got a question or two for you??
quote: pickling salt
What is that?? Anything like kosher salt or sea salt or, gosh, I don't remember seeing it in the grocery store... Do you find it in the spice or seasoning isles??
And......
quote: Pack in hot jars and seal.
Is that like with those canning jars with the lids???????

I have a real easy Bread and Butter Pickle recipe, but you don't can them, just store in the fridge.
Microwave Bread-and Butter Pickles
2 cups cucumber, sliced in 1/4 inch-thick rounds 3/4 cup onion, sliced in rounds 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup white vinegar 1 teaspoon canning salt 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed 1/4 teaspoon each celery seed & turmeric Mix all ingredients in a 2 quart microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high 7 to 8 minutes, stiring twice, until cucumber is crisp-tender and onion is translucent. Ladle into glass jar (rinsed with hot water to prevent cracking). Cover, cool slightly and refrigerate. Makes 2 1/2 cups.

Weezie, the salt we use is in the spice section, in a box (green if you buy Mortons brand) like you would get ice cream salt. I think it is even the same size as that.
Yes, the wide mouthed canning jars and canning lids. I have a ton of regular jars for making jelly, but the wide mouthed canning jars were better for pickles, especially when you go to get them out of the jar!
