Combine jalapenos, cucumbers, onion, and the 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of salt in a large glass or ceramic bowl; cover with cold water & let stand for 2 hours. Drain thoroughly, pressing on the vegetable to remove excess liquid.

Combine the sugar and vinegar in a large pot; tie the pickling spices in cheesecloth and add to the liquid. Bring to a boil & simmer for 15 minutes. Add the vegetables & simmer for 10 minutes. Remove spice bag.

Pack into hot jars & process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.
