1 7/8 inch cucumber
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. white vinegar
1 tsp. salt
Dash of black pepper
2 tbsp. fresh dill or 1 tbsp. dill weed
1 onion, sliced -- optional

Slice cucumber.

Mix sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper together and pour over cucumbers. Add dill and mix well. Cover and chill at least two hours.

NOTE: When I do not have fresh dill or dill weed, I boil 2 tablespoons dill seed in vinegar solution, allow it to cool and strain before pouring over the cucumbers.
