2 c. sugar dissolved in 1 c. vinegar
2 tbsp. salt (may be omitted)
1/2 tsp. mustard seed
1/2 tsp. dill seed or fresh dill piece
1 tbsp. celery seed
1 c. sliced onion
1 c. green pepper, sliced
7 c. unpeeled cucumber, thinly sliced

Mix all together and keep in refrigerator indefinitely - my recipe says. We eat them up quickly so can't give a good time frame on this!
