Recipe
1. Trim ends from cucumbers, then cut into rounds about ¼-inch thick. In a medium nonreactive bowl, combine cucumbers and salt, tossing to coat. Cover with ice cubes and let stand in refrigerator 1 to 2 hours.
2. Peel and trim ends of carrots. Cut on the diagonal into 1/8-inch thick slices. Cut the bell pepper into ½-inch pieces. Slice the onions thinly; prepare garlic. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add carrots, bell peppers, onions and garlic; sauté 5 minutes.
3. While vegetables are cooking, drain cucumbers and rinse well. Drain well again and put into a large bowl. Add sautéed vegetables to cucumbers.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, brown and granulated sugars, fennel seeds, ground cloves, bay leaf, mustard seeds, Dijon, allspice and coriander seeds. Whisk well to blend. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Pour boiling syrup over vegetables and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight. They'll keep up to 1 month.
