Icebox Pickles

This is a wonderful sweet pickle recipe I got from my mother, who got it from a relative, who got it from a relative, and so on. It is very easy, a little time-consuming, delicious, and makes a lot of pickles. The recipe says to put them in jars, but I just store them in a clean gallon-sized ice cream bucket. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to a year.

Step: 1

Combine cucumbers, onions, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, and salt in a large container. Cover with ice cubes. Let stand for 3 hours. Drain off brine and squeeze out excess moisture.

Step: 2

Mix sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, and celery seeds in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook for 3 minutes. Pour over cucumber mixture. Let cool, about 30 minutes.

Step: 3

Divide cucumber mixture among jars. Cover with lids and refrigerate.
