BREAD-AND-BUTTER PICKLES 
1 lg. cucumber, sliced in 1/4 inch thick rounds (2 c.)
1 med. size onion, sliced in thin rounds (3/4 c.)
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. white vinegar
1/4 tsp. each celery seeds and turmeric
1/2 tsp. mustard seeds
1 tsp. salt

Mix all ingredients in a 2 quart microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high 7 to 8 minutes, stirring twice until cucumber is crisp-tender and onion translucent. Ladle into a glass jar (rinsed with hot water to prevent cracking). Cover. Cool slightly and refrigerate. Makes 2 1/2 cups.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
