This is my DM's. 12 large yellow cucumbers, 1 quart white vinegar, 2 oz. mustard seed and 1 pound of sugar. Peel cucumbers and cut in quarters, remove seeds then cut to fit jars. Soak overnight in brine of one cup salt to one gallon water. Drain. Bring vinegar, mustard seed and sugar to a boiling point, add cucumbers and cook until you can pierce with a fork. Seal hot in sterilized jars. I hope this helps.
