While I'm not the world's hugest pickle fan I have to say these are good. In fact they've actually won a few silly contests she's entered them. They have a definite sweet/sour aspect to them and are great on a sandwich or just with some cheese.

==Ingredients==
*4 quarts of sliced cucumbers (16 cups)
*6 medium white sliced onions (I have actually used less)
*1 sweet red pepper
*1 sweet green pepper
*3 cloves of garlic (optional) (I actually used a few more)
*1/3 cup of pickling salt
*3 cups of distilled white vinegar
*1 ½ tsp. of celery seed
*1 ½ tsp. of turmeric
*1 ½ tsp. Of mustard seed
*2 trays of ice cubes

==Method==

*Select medium sized cucumbers. Wash well but do not peel. Slice them thinly.

*Wash peppers and remove stem ends, seeds and membrane.

*Wash and cut onions into bite sized pieces.

*Layer all the vegetables, including garlic into a crock or ceramic bowl, sprinkling salt between each layer. Also layer one tray full of ice between layers and put the whole second tray on the top layer.

*Let stand for 3 hours. Drain pickles well and remove garlic and any unmelted ice.

*Divide into two batches so that for cooking the pickles will have more crispness and colour.

*Combine the vinegar and remaining ingredients. Pour over the two batches and heat to boiling point. Ladle hot pickles into sterilized jars, seal and process in canner.

*N.B Store at least a month for best flavour.

==Yield==
*Makes about 8 pints
