Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 large cucumbers (peeled, cored and chopped)
  • 4 green bell peppers (seeded and finely chopped)
  • 2 red bell peppers (seeded and finely chopped)
  • 4 large onions (peeled and finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup pickling salt or kosher salt 
  • 1 cup prepared horseradish
  • 1 1/2 cups natural brown sugar
  • 1 tsp celery seed
  • 2 tbsp mustard seed
  • cold white vinegar (to cover)

Instruction

  • Place chopped cucumbers and 1/4 cup salt in a colander over a bowl and toss to combine. Cover, refrigerate and allow to drain overnight. You will have a large amount of water in the bowl the next morning.
  • Drain and rinse cucumbers in ice cold water, filling the bowl. Drain well; this helps to remove the excess salt.  
  • Chop peppers and onions. Add to cucumbers.
  • In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, horseradish, celery seed and mustard seed. Let sit at room temperature until sugar dissolves. Add to cucumber mixture and then add enough vinegar to cover.
  • Bottle in your favorite jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks, freeze, or give as gifts to friends.
