I recently fell into some garden-grown cucumbers. Not wanting to waste their sure-to-be deliciousness I channeled my ancestral traditions of gardening and canning and summoned this recipe. It's easy and it makes your brain sweat.
- Wash and peel (to whatever extent you like the skins) however many cucumbers you have.
- Slice them into a bowl--sprinkle every layer with salt.
- Let set 1/2 hour (I put mine in the fridge).
- Rinse with water--leave some in the bowl...like 10 percent.
- Pour in 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water--enough to submerse cucumber slices.
- Optional--Slice in some white onions.
- Sprinkle in some black pepper.
- Sprinkle in some dill.
- Store in jar in refrigerator.

Optional (but not really): Capers
I subscribe, so yes.
Slice thinly, salt in the same fashion, add sesame seeds, rice wine vinegar (un-seasoned) and sesame oil. Treat in the fridge the same way. Serve with sushi
ooh, good ideas--thanks!
