1/4 cup of red wine vinegar

1/4 cup of sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon horseradish

1 teaspoon celery seed

Salad:

1 small red onion, cut in half and sliced thin

1 jalapeno, chopped fine

Combine both of the vinegars with the sugar, salt, horseradish, and celery and mustard seeds in a small saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil, boiling for 1 minute. Set aside.

In a large glass bowl, combine bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno and tomatoes. Pour the hot vinegar and sugar mixture over the vegetables and set aside to cool.

Add the cucumbers, stir & cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for several hours. Use a slotted spoon for serving to drain excess liquid off when serving.
