Crisp Pickle Slices - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 qt. sliced cucumbers (medium sized)
6 medium white onion, sliced
2 green peppers, chopped
3 cloves garlic
1/3 c. rock salt (ice cream salt) or plain salt
5 c. sugar or 2 c. light corn syrup and 3 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. turmeric
1 1/2 tsp. celery seed
2 Tbsp. mustard seed
3 c. cider vinegar

Preparation

Do not pare cucumbers; slice thin.
Add onions, peppers and whole garlic cloves.
Add salt; cover with cracked ice.
Mix thoroughly.
Let stand 3 hours; drain thoroughly.
(I sometimes leave overnight, adding enough ice to last.) Combine remaining ingredients; pour over cucumber mixture.
Heat just to boiling. Seal in hot, sterilized jars.
