CREAMY CUCUMBERS

A friend of mine was raving about these creamy cucumbers she made and shared this recipe with me. She had gotten it from another friend. It is a recipe that some would recognize being made by their mothers or grandmothers and handed down through the generations. The cucumbers will have a tangy and sweet taste and it is a great way to preserve and eat cucumbers especially if you are getting many from the garden. You can store the creamy cucumbers in the fridge for up to six to eight weeks. 

I made half the recipe and used six large size cucumbers and half a large size white onion. I used five jars (500 ml each) which are easier for storage in the fridge and serving.   

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups mayonnaise or miracle whip

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup vinegar

2 tbsp pickling salt

1 tsp pepper

12 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced

2 onions, peeled, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

Using a large bowl, mix together the mayo, sugar, vinegar, pickling salt and pepper.  Add the cucumbers and onions. Combine well. 

To make storage and serving easier, place cucumber mixture into jars with lids and store in the fridge up to six to eight weeks.
