Sugar (4 cups)
White Vinegar (2 cups)
Salt (2 tbsps)
Turmeric (1 tsp)
Celery Seed (1 tsp)
Mustard Seed (1 tsp)
Yellow Onion, large, sliced or diced (if you want relish)
10 Small Cucumbers, 4 Medium Cucumbers, or 3 English Cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced (approx.–add as much cucumber and onion as liquid permits)
Optional:
Red Pepper, sliced
Measure first six ingredients into large pot and heat to dissolve sugar. Move liquid to large container that will be used to store pickles in refrigerator (glass pickle jar, large tupperware–at least 1 liter sized). Add cucumbers, onions, (and peppers) to fill up to the level of liquid. Let stand for 2 hours; after it shrinks down, add more cucumber slices. Cover and store in refrigerator for up to six months (mine last for a year).
