Dutch Spiced Pickled Fresh Sliced Cucumbers

Having a ton of fresh cucumbers all over the garden
I decided to try and make some like spicy canned.

Ingredients:
20 cucumbers
3 green peppers
4 red peppers
1/2 cup salt
5 onions
1 quart vinegar
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon cloves
1 cup sugar

Directions:
After peeling the cucumbers,
do not slice but cut the long way into inch long slabs.
Thinly slice onions and peppers.
Put these in large bowl, sprinkle the salt over them and mix.
After letting stand four hours, drain through
colander, and then squeeze juices out through cheese cloth.
Then boil the vinegar, cloves, turmeric powder
(first dissolved in a little vinegar) and the sugar.
Thenadd the cucumbers to this liquid and boil for
two or three minutes. Place in glass jars.
