Nice recipe for summers!!!! Sounds so cool and yummy.
ReplyDeleteTWO cups of sugar??!! Is this correct? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHey there, yes the 2 cups is correct. This makes a big batch. You can certainly cut back on the sugar if you want to lessen it some. Hope you get to try it.
DeleteI have a family recipe...we use this combo for pickled eggs also...depending on amounts you can half the recipe...1 cup sugar, 1 cup vinegar 1 cup of water....I heat the mixture to dissolve the sugar when making pickled eggs...for the pickled cucumbers...I just mix it well and cover the cukes and onions...and for this recipe also green peppers...let sit..overnight is best but I've made it right before a meal and serve...is so good either way I'd say...good luck
DeleteMy mom always made the best cucumber salad and mine never was as good as hers. I asked her one day what she does that I am not doing and she said the key is lots of sugar. Now mine is a good as mom's. This recipe is like we use, it is so good on a warm summer day. I could just eat it for my meal.
