I used to not care for these growing up, as Mom didn't put any dairy in them. Well, 45 years later, while working @ an assisted living home, the cook found this in an old cookbook and made them up. Thank you Nita. I was skeptical, but tried them and they were the bomb. Happy Cookin'

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3/4 c sugar
1 tsp salt
dash(es) pepper
2/3 c apple cider vinegar (white will work, too)
1/4 c water
1 1/2 c mayonnaise or miracle whip
2-3 cucumbers, peeled, sliced in coins
1-2 sweet, red, yellow or white onions, sliced into rings or 1/2 rings

Steps:

1. Mix all ingredients, except veggies, with a whip until smooth. Add veggies at this point. Keep refrigerated. Add more veggies as needed.
2. Use your imagination...zucchini, radishes, don't just use what I've posted. Use what's in your garden or your local farmer's market. Happy Cookin'

Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers: For best results, use pickling cucumbers, which are smaller and have thinner skins than regular cucumbers.
Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the vinegar and spices more easily.
Use a variety of onions: Different types of onions, such as red onions, yellow onions, and shallots, will add different flavors to the pickles.
Experiment with different spices and herbs: Feel free to add your favorite spices and herbs to the pickling liquid, such as dill, garlic, mustard seeds, or chili peppers.
Let the pickles rest for at least 24 hours before eating: This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.

Conclusion:

Cukes and onions are a classic combination that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy snack or a flavorful addition to your next meal, these recipes have you covered. So next time you're in the mood for something tangy and refreshing, reach for a jar of cukes and onions.
