Our garden is just starting to come in . . . we wait so long to have fresh produce, all the things we love. Tomato, onion, yellow and green beans and of course cucumber. My challenge is all of a sudden BAM!!!! we have an over abundance of cucumbers. What to do? What to make????
Let me introduce you to my new best friend . . . I don't know why I didn't have one sooner . . . I don't know how I survived. I sliced up my cucumber, onion and peppers in minutes.
It was so easy and fast. I added a little celery seed . . . I love celery seed.
Ingredients: 1 cup distilled white vinegar, 1 Tbsp. salt, 2 cups of white sugar or (1/2 cup agave or a little less plus 1 Tsp. Stevia), 6 cups sliced cucumber, 1 cup sliced onion, 1 cup sliced green or red bell pepper, sprinkle of celery seed
Preparations:
1. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat bring vinegar, salt and sugar to a boil.
2. Boil until sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes.
3. Place cucumbers, onions and peppers in a large bowl. Sprinkle with celery seed.
4. Pour the vinegar mixture over the veggies. Transfer to sterile containers and store in fridge.
Yeild: 8 cups or 64 ounces
Prep time: 20 minutes, Cook time: 10 minutes, Ready in: 30 minutes
I don't know how long they will last in the refrigerator but I know they won't be there that long in mine to find out.
This looks fantastic!!! I will have to try this out when my cucumbers are getting big enough to pull :)
