Refrigerator Pickled Salad Recipe

I found this recipe here: Refrigerator Cucumber Salad I made it almost exactly the same, but changed the name for mine as I can see this being used for more than just cucumbers.

4 pint-sized canning jars

1.5 large thinly sliced cucumbers
1 large sliced red onion
1 medium sliced bell pepper
1 Tablespoon salt
1 cups white vinegar
1.5 cups organic sugar
1 teaspoon celery flakes
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
ice
Mix cucumbers, onions, bell pepper and salt; set aside.
Bring vinegar, sugar, celery flakes and pepper flakes to a boil. Remove from heat and add 2 large handfuls of ice. Stir until ice is melted.
Fill jars with vegetable mixture.
Using a funnel, pour vinegar mixture into jars until vegetables are completely covered. Push vegetables down carefully with wooden spoon, if needed.
Store in refrigerator for up to two months.

Cough Syrup Base Recipe

I saw this article yesterday: Preparing For The Winter and decided to give the remedy a try. This will be used for cough syrup or sore throat syrup.

16 oz. local raw honey
1.5 lemons (with rind,) sliced thin
1-inch knob ginger, sliced thin

Put lemon and ginger slices in 24-ounce jar. Pour 16-oz. honey over all, until completely immersed. Stir until all air bubbles are dispersed. Keep in refrigerator until lemon and ginger slices dissolve (may take several weeks.) The concoction will look like marmalade.

This can be used to flavor tea or other drinks by the teaspoonful. Can also be taken directly from the spoon as a remedy for coughs or sore throats.
Honey is an excellent 'preservative' and will last indefinitely. As this is used, you can keep 'topping it off' by adding more lemon, ginger and honey, as long as the lemon and ginger are completely covered.
