Bread And Butter Pickles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

25 to 30 cucumbers
8 medium white onions
2 large, sweet bell peppers
1/2 c. salt
5 c. cider vinegar
5 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. mustard seed
1 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. cloves (ground)

Preparation

Cut cucumbers, onions and peppers in large dishpan, etc.
Add salt and cover with lots of ice.
Let stand for 3 hours, stirring occasionally so salt will be distributed evenly through cucumbers. In another large pot, combine vinegar, sugar and other spices. Bring to a boil.
Drain cucumbers and add them to the vinegar mixture.
Heat thoroughly but do not boil.
Pack in jars and seal at once.
