whole cucumber. I used Armenian cukes because that is what I had |
Cut in half |
Remove the seeds |
cut into chunks and put in the food processor (or cut finely by hand) |
The result |
Add salt to bring out the water and let sit for at least an hour |
The other ingredients-sweet onion, red onion, green peppers, ripe (yellow and red in this case) and garlic |
Like the cukes put through a food processor or chop very fine by hand |
this has been salted and is sitting and waiting for as much liquid as possible to be expressed |
after sitting for an hour I pressed out the excess liquid in this colander |
The brine-salt, sugar (no more than a cup) vinegar and pickling spices |
washing jars |
Jars being loaded into the canner to be boiled/sterilized |
Finished product |
