Cucumber Catsup

Take three dozen full grown cucumbers, pare and slice thin. Pare and slice two quarts of white onions very thin. Mix through them one pint of salt. Spread to drain for six or eight hours, and then squeeze perfectly dry. Put in a large bowl and add quarter pound brown sugar, half pint olive oil, half pound mustard seed, quarter pound ground black pepper, two quarts boiling vinegar. Mix well together. Then put in small jars and cover, if necessary, with cold vinegar and on top of each jar pour a little olive oil. Put in jars with tight tops.
