My two sons and I love these. If they had their way I would have to make 'em in a washtub! I experimented, once and added bell pepper squares. Now, they want carrot slices, tomatoes. You can use virtually any veggie. If cucumbers give you indigestion, try scoring them lengthwise with the tines of a fork. Just deep enough to see the marks. Just below the skin, in the meat, lies a layer of "heartburn". An elderly British friend of my Dad taught me this recipe and that tip. That man could COOK.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3-4 large cucumbers, peeled and scored with a fork,lengthways,sliced crossways,medium thick
1 large white onion or yellow onion, quartered,then sliced crossways,½ inch thick
2 bell peppers, any color,cut in 1 inch squares.
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1
Pour vinegar and water in large left-over bowl, add spices and mix well.
2
Add vegetables to bowl.
3
More water and vinegar may be added, maintaining a 2 vinegar to 1 water ratio, to cover vegetables.
4
May be adjusted to your own pucker power.
5
We like ours tart.
6
Cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving.
7
Avoid metal bowls.

One DD loved these, but the rest of us found them just a bit too tart. I had made a large batch, so I stirred in a little extra water and some sugar (couple TB, I think) and let it sit overnight. The next night, we ALL loved them. Especially the onions, they were just great in this.

I made half a batch and found it very vinegary. Maybe it's not something that can be successfully halved.

Boy Oh Boy!! Count me in on this recipe, it's deeelicious!! Followed your easy directions this a.m., and by suppertime, we were chowin' down on some mighty fine cukes. I added red, green, and yellow bells ... Shore did add the color to it! Think on the next batch, I'll add fresh garlic! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful dish, Jim ... Tis easily a big 5* winner! Laudee
