Drain liquid from cucumbers; rinse with clear cool tap water. Slice pickles (round) as desired thickness. Place in glass or stainless steel pan. Cover sliced pickles with 5 cups sugar (add extra cup if want really sweet pickles). Stir frequently with wooden spoon. Let stand for 4 hours. Pack in sterile jars.

Best idea: put pickles back in gallon jar; cover tightly. Set aside in pantry. Take our desired pickles when ready to eat or want to refrigerate to chill.
