Bread and Butter Pickles

Gently mix together the cucumbers, onions, green peppers, and salt.

Cover with crushed ice and let stand for 3 hours.

Continue to add ice as it melts so cucumbers become crisp and cold.

Drain well.

Meanwhile, combine sugar, spices, and vinegar in a large kettle and bring to a boil.

Add drained vegetables and heat to boiling point, but do not boil.

Spoon into hot, sterilized jars.
