Sassy Marinated Cucumbers

A sassy version of refrigerator pickles – this cool, refreshing cucumber dish is the perfect thing in summer.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups (medium) thinly sliced cucumbers
• 1 medium red or green pepper, cut into strips
• ¼ c. chopped onion
• ¾ c. sugar (original recipe calls for 1 c., but we don’t like it that sweet)
• 1 t. salt
• ½ t. celery seed (I’ve also substituted finely chopped celery when I want to use the last of my celery)
• ½ t. mustard seed
• ½ c. vinegar

Method: In large bowl combine cucumbers, peppers and onion. In small bowl, combine remaining
ingredients, blend well. Pour over cucumber mixture; toss to coat well. Cover and
refrigerate at least 24 hours – stirring occasionally. May add new cucumbers to the
mixture!
