Brine: 

Mix 2.5 c. white vinegar

 1.5 c. sugar

 1.5 tsp. salt

 1.5 tsp turmeric.

 Let sit to dissolve the sugar while slicing vegetables.

Slice 4 c. cucumbers in a large bowl.

Add  1 large onion- sliced. May also add fresh sweet or hot pepper.

Pour vinegar solution over vegetables and mix.

Cover tightly and let marinate in the refrigerator 24 hours before serving.

Keep Refrigerated:

Brine can be used again to make another batch when the pickles are all gone but is never quite as good the second use.
