Pickled Fresh Cucumbers

cucumbers

white vinegar

water

sugar

salt

white pepper

parsley,

Wash cucumbers (do not peel) and slice very thin. (a Mandolin works best) place in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and cover with a plate which will rest directly on the cucumbers. Place a heavy weight on top and refrigerate for a few hours. 

Combine sugar, vinegar and white pepper in saucepan and heat until sugar is melted. Cool.  Pour over cucumbers, which have been well drained. Chill in refrigerator two or three hours before serving. 

I did tweak this a bit to suit our tastes, but overall love the concept of this recipe. I left out the sugar and added a large smashed clove of garlic, a few thin slices of white onion, and dill seed to the brine. Instead of parsley at the end, I packed a pint jar with layers of the drained cucumber slices and sprigs of fresh dill. I poured the brine, still warm, over the cucs and dill and laid the garlic and onion on top of the mixture. My version may not be traditional at all, but came out quite tangy and tasty in our humble opinions and we shall continue to make quick pickles this way. Planning to cut the cucs a bit thicker so I can make a larger batch, that won&#039;t go soggy so fast, with some lovely summer farmer market pickling cucs. Thank you for sharing.
