Instructions

In a bowl, combine cucumbers, onion, and peppers. Sprinkle kosher salt over the mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure even coating. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 4 hours. Place the cucumber mixture in a colander and rinse under cold water for 3 to 4 minutes, until all traces of salt are removed. Drain well.
In a saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, water, garlic, mustard seed, celery seed, peppercorns, turmeric, and ground cloves. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the brine flavors to meld together. Add the cucumber mixture to the brine, heat until nearly boiling, then remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Transfer the pickles to jars and store in the refrigerator.
