  • 2 tablespoons pickling salt

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Peel and thinly slice cucumbers, thinly slice onions and dice peppers.

  • Step 2: Mix all ingredients together and pour into ice cream pail or gallon jar, place in fridge stirring a couple times a day for two days.

  • Step 3: NOTE – find it quicker and easier to heat the brine of the sugar, vinegar, salt and spices in a 4 or 6 quart pot on low heat stirring until salt and sugar are dissolved, I cool completely before pouring over the vegetables and of course refrigerate stirring a couple time over the first two days. Brine may not cover but the cucumbers will release liquid by next day.

  • Step 4: Store in fridge.
