does anyone have a recipe for the sliced cucumbers in vinegar? I don't know what all goes into it, but I like them. Does it last long in the fridge? I'm the only one in the house who likes them, so it either needs to last, or be a small batch. Thanks!

Creamy:

6 tbsp. sugar
2/3 c. vinegar
Thanks Angie! I mixed up a batch of vinegar-y ones just now, with a few added seasonings. Hope they turn out good! It smells right at least!
This is late, but I also salt the cuc's after I am done slicing them and let them sit with a plate or something heavy, to drain the excess moisture, then rinse after a few hours in the fridge. This keeps them crisp and doesn't water down your dressing. Also, no need then to salt them again.
I do the vinegar-y ones, and do 2 parts vinegar to one part veggie oil, and lots of pepper. I also add onion (chopped). Sometimes, if I am not in for a sore stomach, I will add a few pinches of sugar, to tame it down. Let sit for at least a few hours and enjoy!
