3 lb. cucumber, med. sized
2 tsp. salt
1 qt. vinegar

Wash cucumbers. Pour boiling water over them and let stand 5-10 minutes. Drain off hot water and pour cold water on them, using running water or change water until cucumbers are cooled.

Mix vinegar, salt and sugar. Bring to boil; drop cucumbers in boiling liquid. Return to water bath for 5 minutes. These should stand at least 2 weeks in sealed jars.
