Slice up a couple cucumbers (may slice 1/4" strips
from top to bottom at even intervals to give edges a
two-tone look.
(*Soak the cucumbers in a salt water solution
with a plate weighted down on top for 2 hours
to make the cucumbers burpless).
Slice up an onion (cut so it is in 1/2 circle shapes).
Mix the cucumbers and onions in a bowl.
Pour 1/3 cup vinegar in to a glass measuring cup.
Add enough sugar to bring the vinegar level up to 2/3 cup mark.
Add enough water to bring liquid level to the 1 cup mark.
Mix thoroughly and add to the cucumbers and onions.
Salt and pepper to taste.
