Dutch Spiced Cucumbers

List of Ingredients




20 cucumbers
3 green peppers
4 red peppers
1/2 cup salt
5 onions
1 quart vinegar
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon cloves
1 cup sugar


After peeling the cucumbers, do not slice but cut the long way into inch long slabs. Thinly slice onions and peppers. Put these in large bowl, sprinkle the salt over them and mix. After letting stand four hours, drain through colander, and then squeeze juices out through cheese cloth. Then boil the vinegar, cloves, turmeric powder (first dissolved in a little vinegar) and the sugar. Then add the cucumbers to this liquid and boil for two or three minutes. Place in glass jars.
