yep my mom's left handed penmanship.

I just happened to be mostly left handed!

I've printed since forever, because I always got grief noone could read my cursive.

well......... its gone...... ok here it is again....

            SUMMER CUKES
7 cups peeled and hand sliced cukes. hand sliced makes them thicker and ends up better then a slicer.
1 cup sliced onion
2T pickling salt.......i use table salt........picking salt takes to long to rinse out!!
mix and let stand 2-3 hours.....mixing occasionally.
rinse well.
depending on the size of cukes.....takes about 9 cukes

BRINE
2 cups sugar......i'm down to 1 1/2 cups
1 cup vinegar
1tsp celery seed
put in pan and heat stirring till liquid is clear......DO NOT BOIL.
pour over cukes and refrigerate let stand for 2 weeks!!!!!!

That's basically a Sweet and Sour Sauce.

Might add some dill to give them a little tang.

Would be good on Burgers.

I would be eating that by the handfuls if it was here.

Glenn....I am making your sweet and sour pickle recipe right now. Just had the salt on. Do I wash the salt off or leave it on when I pour the brine on?

Will they get to salty if left on?

I'd rinse them good. My get way to salty otherwise. It's what I do.

I thought so.....that's why I asked. You should go on the recipe page here and say to rinse off the salt.

Sorry.....just reread it again and it says ....rinse well

2 weeks and we will see.

We use a very similar recipe. We just add a tsp of mustard seed and a tsp of turmeric for color and tang.
