This recipe is an old farm favorite. It’s full of the flavors of summer and can be kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days (the longer its sits in the fridge the better it seems to get!) 

• 2 large cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced (or unpeeled if using young/tender cucumbers)
• 3 medium white onions, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 C. cider vinegar (or to taste)
• 2 C. water
• ½ C. + 1 Tbsp. granulated white sugar (or to taste)
• ¼ tsp. salt
• dash of pepper

Mix together vinegar, water, salt, pepper, then add sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add cucumbers and onions, making sure they are covered with the liquid. Put in a glass or plastic container and cover. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Serve chilled. (You can also add chopped tomatoes when serving.)
