Cucumbers & Onion Salad

• 2 - 3 large cucumbers
• 1 medium white onion
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• salt

Cut the ends off the cucumber and peel lengthwise alternating to create a cucumber with stripes.  Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. 

Peel and slice the onion thinly and separate each slice into circles.  Alternate the cucumber and onions into a 2-quart container with a lid. 

Add the rest of the ingredients & cover tightly (a 2-quart jar or pitcher works well so you can gently turn the ingredients to completely mix them). 

Refrigerate overnight and serve cold.
