My daddy always made this and kept a bowl in the refrigerator for all meals! I’m glad I found this! Not sure if he made exactly like this but sounds like it!
It's funny how different these kinds of recipes evolve from various families. My granny used about half that much sugar and twice as much cider vinegar. The water was about the same, except she used 1/2 warm (to dissolve the sugar) and the other 1/2 ice cold (with ice cubes) so she could immerse the cucumber and onion right away. Over the years I've learned to use my mandolin to slice everything, and sometimes I'll add one clove of elephant garlic sliced paper thin. (which is very mild like a leek) The 'hint' of garlic adds a nice touch to this salad. Thanks for the video!
About to make my scond batch using this wonderful recipe. Hard to not add salt but did so for my serving and it was great. Reminds me of grandma's. Thank you.
Nice presentation of an old classic with some great secret tips from you and grandma. Eat them fresh, the next day, next week and then extend the brine with a new batch. That Ginsu knife from the 1990's is one of my favorites that I use even today in 2015. Made me smile. Thanks : )
What mine did, which makes a difference, is put the thin sliced salted cucumbers and onions in a bowl place a plate over the cucumbers and put a bowl on the plate, let set over night in fridg. in morning remove bowl of water, keep plate on and dump cucumber water off the mixture. This allows the cucumbers to adsorb the vinegar sugar mixture instead of just coating them.
This was old favorite my grandma made for me too (right along side "gravy lettuce"...aka cabbage with gravy) I just made some of this for myself, my own recipe though. Just guessed and mixed together sugar, salt, vinegar, water and of course cucumbers and onions. I though it was just something weird she put together, I didn't know others had it! Thanks for the video and more exact recipe!
Come to think on it, she used to heat up the sugar, vinegar to melt the sugar and make it a little thicker then she cooled it off before adding to the mixture.
My mom used to make this but I don’t remember how….. I used to just do all vinegar…. And yes apple cider for sure…… but last recipe I followed was SO watered down when I tasted it- had to trash it all…😩
I made this once and added a jalapeño….. it was Soooooo good….. but I’ll never do that again because ….. well because what goes in …. Must come out if you catch my drift…. Just wasn’t pretty. 😢😳
This recipe is one of my favorite, I tried making this years ago, before the day of CZcams and it never worked. Thanks for sharing this. I'm making it tomorrow.😋
I found this video a couple of years ago. I love this recipe! It's the only way if fix them now. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the video…. But for myself gonna cut that suger down.
Huh …. Never thought about the salt part….. ty…. How about pepper though?
I made this once and added a jalapeño….. it was Soooooo good….. but I’ll never do that again because ….. well because what goes in …. Must come out if you catch my drift…. Just wasn’t pretty. 😢😳
