I have always loved cucumbers in vinegar. My grandmother used to fix them and this tastes like hers. I can remember her saying that she started hers like her pickles so getting most of the water out of the cucumbers must be the trick. I can remember her putting left over onions and tomatoes into the vinegar mixture after a meal. Laura and I love this in the summer.
Ingredients:
4 cups pickling cucumbers, peeled and sliced thin
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
