Winter Pickles (or Refrigerator Bread & Butter Pickles)
#1
7 cups cucumbers - peeled and sliced
1 cup green pepper - cut in strips
1 onion - sliced
Mix all of the above together and place in a large glass jar (not plastic).
Pour over in the following order:
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon whole mustard seed
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic
1 cup cider vinegar
Be sure to pour vinegar over last and DO NOT STIR. Mixture will gradually sink to form juice. Keep refrigerated. Pickles will be ready to eat in a few days (around 4 days). Can be re-packed into smaller jar once reduced in volume. Will keep for 1 year in refrigerator.

Thanks for the nice comments.
This IS really easy to make. The hardest part is finding a jar big enough. If you don't have a large enough jar, use 2. You'll be surprised how much the batch shrinks.
It's a good way to use up those cucumbers that got kind of large in the garden. I scoop the seeds out of those. :roll:
At Christmas, I pack it in pint or half-pint jars and include it in a basket of homemade goodies.
