In a large bowl combine tomatoes, onion, green pepper, and cucumber. In a small saucepan combine vinegar, water, sugar, celery salt, mustard seeds, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Bring to a boil, boil 1 minute. Pour hot vinegar mixture over tomato mixture. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight to blend flavors. Serve with slotted spoon.

My note: This is Hot. Even Daryl said it was too hot! I think biting into those mustard seeds really gets ya. I'd cut the cayenne in half and probably the mustard seeds too. It's very pretty to look at, and was a nice tomato dish to have in the dead of winter. We served it with a fairly bland dish made from just some short grain brown rice and some peas, carrots, and corn thrown in at the end (frozen).
