Pickled Cucumbers

Ingredients

  • Fresh cucumbers
  • Salt
  • Water
  • White vinegar
  • Spices for pickling (optional)

Directions

  1. Wipe the fresh cucumbers clean.
  2. Place them in a mixture of salt and water, strong enough to bear an egg, and let them soak for 6 or 7 days.
  3. After soaking, scald the cucumbers in vinegar to retain their green color.
  4. Transfer the cucumbers to a container and cover them with cold spiced vinegar. Add your choice of pickling spices if desired.
  5. Allow the pickled cucumbers to marinate for optimal flavor.
