Cucumbers

I have been asked to share the recipe, so here it is:

Refrigerator Cucumber Salad

15 minutes to prepare serves 8-10

INGREDIENTS

·         5 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced

·         1 large red onion, thinly sliced

·         2 large bell pepper, thinly sliced (sometimes I use 3, depending on the size)

·         1 1/2  cups sugar

·         1 1/2 cups white vinegar

·         1 tablespoon salt

·         1 teaspoon mustard seeds

·         1 teaspoon celery seeds

·         1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

PREPARATION

1.    In a medium bowl or a half gallon mason jar, toss together cucumbers, onions, peppers, and salt and set aside.

2.    Combine vinegar, sugar, mustard seed, celery seed, and pepper flakes in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, remove from heat and add 2 handfuls of ice.

3.    Once ice has melted, pour vinegar mixture over cucumbers. Cover and store in refrigerator. Will keep for 2 months.
