Soak pickles in ice water over night. Next morning, drain and slice.

2 cups cauliflower (optional)
1 cup thinly sliced carrots (optional)

3½ cups apple cider vinegar

5 cups sugar

1½ tsp. turmeric

1½ tsp. celery seed

2 tsp. mustard seed

Until cucumber turn to a pale green color.  Spoon into sterilized jars, cover, seal and process in boiling hot water bath for 15 minutes.  Yield: 6 pints
