BLUE RIBBON BREAD AND BUTTER
PICKLES
 
4 qts. sliced med. cucumbers
2 green peppers, chopped
1/3 c. coarse salt
1 1/2 tsp. turmeric
2 tbsp. mustard seed
6 med. sliced onions
3 cloves garlic
5 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. celery seed
3 c. cider vinegar

Do not pare cucumbers. Slice thin. Add onion, peppers, whole garlic cloves, and salt. Cover with cracked ice, mix thoroughly. Let stand 3 hours. Drain thoroughly. Combine remaining ingredients. Heat just to boiling. Do not boil, this is very important. Seal in hot sterilized jars. Yields: 8 pints. If you have red peppers you can add some of these for color. I have won over 15 blue ribbons at the county fairs in Pennsylvania with this recipe.
