6 c cucumbers, sliced
1 c green pepper, sliced
1 c onion, sliced
Liquid:
1 c cider vinegar
2 c white sugar
1 tsp celelry seed
2 Tbsp salt
Slice the veggies into 2 quart jars, I like to make layers of them: you can leave out the onions and peppers, if you want, but they are so good!~Mix your other ingredients in a large measuring cup, stir well. The sugar will not be dissolved yet~Pour over sliced vegetables, evenly in each jar~You will finish filling the jars with cold tap water~I shake the jar a few times during the 24 hrs to mix~No need to cook it~ Ready to eat in 24 hours. Taste best if eaten within a week or two~but I like to add tomato wedges or slices to this liquid for overnight, when it is close to empty of veggies~Use the next day~Unbelievable with sandwiches~
~I have also pickled hot peppers using a batch of this same liquid~They are delicious!~
Instructions
My mom used to make this. Geesh I sure miss my mom's cooking. Thanks for sharing, now I can try and recreate the memory of good fresh food.
ReplyDeleteI could not find the instructions for the salsa or see the instructions for the ice box pickles. Could you please post them along with the recipes?
