Fresh Cucumber Pickles

by Roma

Cucumber, peeled and sliced

Onion, sliced

vinegar

water

Peel and slice cucumber and onion into a jar.  Fill with equal parts of water and vinegar.  Pepper, sugar, or other spices can be added if desired.  Eat within a day for best flavor and texture.

~To make the pickles pretty, Roma would peel the cucumber and then run the tines of a fork down the sides of the cucumber before slicing it.  Nancy likes to make them with red or purple onions as the colors look nice together.  Some people like to add a bit of sugar or sweetener to the pickles.

~These pickles are so refreshing on a hot summer day!
