Recipe by Beulah Wilford

18 lbs. chopped cucumbers
12 large copped onions
8 large chopped green peppers
1 1/2 cups salt
12 cups cider vinegar
14 cups sugar
5 tsp. ground tumeric
6 Tbsp. mustard seed
8 Tbsp. celery seed
48 whole cloves tied in cheese cloth
Ice Cubes
Chop vegetables in food processor until they are the size you like.  Mix chopped cucumbers, onions, & peppers. In a 5 gal. white bucket, put this in 3 layers adding 1/3 salt each layer and adding ice cubes on top of each layer. Cover top with ice cubes and weigh down with heavy plate; set aside for at least 3 hours. Meanwhile, combine vinegar, sugar, and spices in a large kettle.  Bring to a boil and add well drained vegetables. Make sure there is no ice. Heat, bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon. Pack into hot sterilized jars and seal (hot water bath). This makes 12-14 quarts.
