Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Cucumbers, 1" To 1.5" Diameter, Washed
  • 2 whole Large Onions
  • 1 whole Red Pepper
  • 1 whole Orange Pepper
  • 1/2 cups Pickling Salt

  • 4 cups Sugar
  • 2 cups Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Pickling Salt

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumbers, onions, and peppers into your preferred pickle thickness. Place in a large bowl and sprinkle them all over with the first amount of pickling salt. Cover with ice cubes and let them stand for 2 hours.
  2. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan (sugar through spices) and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Cool slightly.
  3. Drain and rinse cucumber slices. Place in a brand new one-gallon bucket with a lid. Pour brine over the top. Cover and store in the fridge. Stir occasionally. They will be ready in 5 days.
  4. I have stored these pickles in the fridge for up to 6 months, tightly sealed in glass jars.
