pickled fresh cucumbers....

you must try these.......so simple...so good....
1 cucumber
1 T. salt
1 T. sugar
1/4 c. vinegar
2 T. water
Dash pepper

Peel 1 medium sized-cucumber. Thinly score lengthwise with the tines of a fork. Slice thin into a flat bowl. Sprinkle with salt; cover with a second bowl of the same shape and place a heavy object on top. Let stand several hours. Drain off juice; pour over cucumber a mixture of the vinegar, water, sugar and dash pepper. These are also really good when you serve them with curry.

 

that sounds really good i will have to try it.. should i use just regular white vinegar ?

 

yup....just plain old white vinegar.....

 

i just made them.. i dont think i let them sit out long enough but they were really good anyways lol thanks

 

its important to let them sit for a couple of hours with the salt.....that way...more of the natural wateriness of the cucumber comes out....

 

i used to pick some fresh zuccini, and use applecider vinegar(cus we made it there) and use some cloves of garlic, with the above mentioned ingredients. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

oh well.. they were still tasty but i will try that next time

 

that sounds so very good......

i love zucchini......my mom makes the BEST zucchini bread i've ever tasted...

 

glad to hear that you tried it.....and trust me if you like them...you'll find yourself hooked....i could eat a whole lot of these in one sitting...

 

this is the perfect time of year for these things....i'm eating some right now with my lentil and couscous soup....mmm.....they compliment the soup so nicely.....

 

that's a perfect recipe! I've cuc's growing in my garden, I'll be sure to make some soon...

 

i always eat them in the summertime....made with fresh cucumbers from the garden....
