If you have an overproductive cucumber patch try this.  I made it with surplus ridge cucumbers and red onions and we can't stop eating it.  It makes 1 decent sized lunchbox full and is a really light pickle/tangy salad.

1kg cucmbers - thinly sliced
3 small onions - thinly sliced
1 tbsp chopped dill - optional
250g granulated sugar
1 level tbsp salt
200ml cider vinegar

Put the cucumber, onions and dill if using in a large bowl.
Mix the sugar, salt and vinegar & pour over the veg - it will look dry at this stage
Cover and leave overnight for the juice to run out of the cucumber - you should end up with enough liquid to cover the veg
Put veg and pickling liquid into a plastic tub with a lid and store in the fridge - it will keep 2 weeks if you can leave it alone

Tried this today, Very right about it not lasting two weeks

I tried some on its own, just a taster you understand. Then had some with lunch. then had some when OH came home for dinner. Half gone already, must make some more

I make something very very similar to this and it's quite addictive, once eaten you'll be wanting more and more! Jude.
