Bread and Butter Refrigerator Pickles!

Pickles! I love pickles. These are bread and butter pickles. I don't know if you have tried any of these before, but in my opinion, Bubbies makes the best bread and butter pickles. It's between a dill and a sweet, if that makes and sense. Haha.
So here's the recipe. Super easy to make.

4 qt. large cucumbers, sliced
8 or less onions
2 green peppers
2 red peppers
1/4 c. salt
2 c. brown sugar or less
2 c. lemon juice
2 c. water
2 T. celery seed
2 T. dill weed or seed
1 T. chili seeds

Slice unpeeled cucumber (peel only if the skin is super tough), onions and peppers. Place in a flat pan, and sprinkle with salt, layering it so salt gets on most the pieces. Place in the fridge and let stand for about 3 hours.
Combine remaining ingredients and bring to boiling point. Add sliced vegetables and bring to a boiling point but do not boil! Fill hot sterilized jars and let them seal. Make sure they're clean, because even though you're like going to put them in the fridge, it's a good precaution.

From the cookbook: Oats Peas Beans and Barley
