Ingredients:
* 4 quarts sliced medium-sized cucumbers, unpeeled
* 6 medium white onions, sliced
* 3 cloves garlic, peeled
* 2 green bell peppers, chopped
* 1/3 cup salt, pickling, non-ionidized
* 5 cups sugar

* 3 cups white vinegar

Directions:
1. Slice unpeeled cucumbers thin.

3. Add salt and cover with ice. Mix well. Let stand for 3 hours.
4. Drain cucumber mix well.
5. Transfer cucumber mix to a large pot, add all remaining ingredients. Bring just to a boil.
6. Pack cucumber mix into hot, sterilized 1-pint jars.
7. Seal with lids and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (20 minutes for altitudes over 1,000 feet).

Note: Take care not to get turmeric on counter tops and your best utensils. It may stain and is nearly impossible to remove.
