8 c. sliced cucumbers (with peel)
2 tbsp. salt
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 c. sugar
1 c. white vinegar
1 tsp. celery seed

Sprinkle sliced cucumbers with salt and then soak in ice cold water for 1/2 to 1 hour. While the cucumbers are soaking mix sugar, vinegar and celery seed. Do not cook. It is normal for sugar not to dissolve. When the cucumbers are ready, drain well. Add onions, green pepper and syrup. Store in refrigerator for at least 24 hours. May be kept for 6 to 8 weeks. After pickles are gone syrup can be used to add a special taste to cole slaw or potato salad.
