1
Thinly slice cucumbers and combine with onions, peppers, and salt.
2
Cover and let sit 12 hours or add 2 trays of ice cubes and let set 3 hours.
3
Drain well.
4
Combine sugar, vinegar, tumeric, mustard seed, celery seed in large saucepan and bring to a boil.
5
Add veggies and return to full boil.
6
Pack in hot sterilized jars, add 1/4 tsp alum if you like to keep crispier.
7
Process in hot water bath for 10 minutes.
8
I dont use alum and I buy Ball pickling Lime which I soak the cucumbers in for 12-24 hours before proceeding with the recipe.
9
They are always crispier that way but bread and butter pickles are good soft too so dont worry about it if you prefer not to use lime or alum.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
