1/2 c. water
1/2 c. white vinegar
3/4 c. sugar
Dash of salt

Cook until sugar dissolves. Cool. When cold, add:

2 cucumbers, thinly sliced
4 or 5 small white onions, thinly sliced
1 Jalapeno pepper, sliced thin

Refrigerate overnight. Liquid keeps well and more cucumber and onions may be added as needed.
