Sliced Cucumber Pickles

1 quart sliced cucumbers 1 large onion sliced 1 green pepper 1 1/4 cup brown sugar.

20 whole cloves.

1 teaspoon tumeric.

1 teaspoon mustard seed.

Vinegar.

Peel and slice thin cucumber, onion and pepper. Sprinkle with salt and let stand three hours. Drain. Add other ingredients with enough vinegar to cover. Scald for fifteen minutes, but do not boil.

In preparing pickles care must be taken that the vinegar is not too strong. It is quite safe to reduce pure cider vinegar about one-third with water.
