2 to 3 cucumbers
1 c. sugar
1 to 1 1/2 c. vinegar
Pinch of salt
Generous pepper

Peel cucumbers. Groove the length of them all around with a silver fork. Slice thinly. Combine other ingredients and stir until no gritty sugar. Pour over cucumber slices. Chill for an hour or so. Will keep several days. Use plain, as a side dish or salad, as pickles or combined with other vegetables in tossed salad, but I like them plain.
