“My brother-in law eats these like candy. Every summer meal has them on the table. The other guys in the family like them too. They’re crisp and sour. We usually double the recipe.”

“I love this recipe, very easy to make. I don’t think it is possible to make too much, it doesn’t seem to last long enough.”
“Yummy!!I doubled the recipe based on the reviews and am I ever glad I did!!I served this with BBQ and baked potatoes and it was great!!Very “refreshing” – a different type of side dish!I might also recommend trying this with regualr vinegar as well.I added a bit more black pepper and next time I may try it with balsamic vinegar for a different taste.Thanks for another great recipe!!”
“Inez, you must be a “Southern” girl.My Mom and Grandmother have made this dish for a long, long time.It is so good with crispy cucumbers and crispy onions.When I make it, I double or triple the vinegar dressing and keep it in a container.When we serve this, all I have to do is slice the veggies to put in.I usuallly add a bit more black pepper.This one is a goldmine!!!The tart vinegar and water mixture is great.”
“Wow these are so good and easy to make.I used regular vinegar and a lot more pepper.The sweetness of the onion and the sourness of the vinegar is a great combo too.With these pickles and Berg’s freezer pickles, who needs Bicks??”
“Inez, these are fabulous and reminds me of a similar recipe my Dad makes. I also doubled the recipe and added more pepper. This definitely has positive pucker power. Yummmmmy!! I have an abundance of garden fresh cukes. This is a great way to use them. Thanks!!”
“Inez, this is the way I’ve been eating cucumbers for years!This is exactly how my mom serves them.They are so delicious!Allow them to marinate in the refridgerator for a couple hours before serving.We call them Marinated Cucumbers. A really nice way to serve cucumbers other than in a tossed salad. Thanks for posting, Inez!”
“Wonderful summer treat. I just grabbed some cucumbers out of the garden and made this easy treat. Everyone gobbled them up. Thanks”
“Love this stuff!Try it with red wine vinegar–equally good.”
“The sour vinegar, the crisp cucumbers, the sweet onions, and LOTS of fresh ground black pepper!!! We were in heaven!! Thanks!”
“Delighted to see your recipe, Nina. It took me back many years – my grandmother used this recipe and it has passed down the generations since. But, wait for it, her father brought it back from America – he worked as a miner in California!! And we all live across the pond!! It’s still in use and passed on to others, small world, ain’t it. elsie addendum:I grovel, Inez, for spelling your name wrong. My only excuse is – I was talking to a “Nina” at the time. Your recipe is top-notch, as I know from long experience, and is now travelling world-wide.Got any more?Apologies,Elsie”
“Yum!Nothing like crispy, sour cukes n’ onions on a hot day!These were easy and delicous, thanks Inez!”
“These were good but a bit tart for me. I did add a bit of sugar (didn’t measure how much) and then we really enjoyed them.”
“I love cucumbers and vinegar, and this recipe was no exception.I often make a cucumber vinegar salad with red wine or white wine vinegar – this is the first time I’ve used apple cider vinegar – it was good!I followed as directed except I added some chopped green onion to the jar, too.Yummy!Made for I Recommend Tag Game, 2/19/09 – NELady.”
“These went so well with the dinner I made last night, recipe#146405 and recipe#223756.Really thought that I would have to let them sit for a few days for the vinegar flavor to marry with the cukes……boy, I was wrong….they were yummy from the getgo! My DS added a tbls of sour cream mixed in…very nice that way too!”
“This is totally awesome!DH loves them!I did add 1/4 cup more water because DH likes less “vinegar” taste.Easy to prepare!I love the fact the cucumbers are crisp.Thanks for sharing!”
“Great recipe.It’s very refreshing and brought back memories of eating this dish as a child.Since English cukes are on sale here, I plan to make this again this week.”
“These are pretty good, but pretty much *just* regular cukes and onions.Not horrible, but probably not one I’d call a “favorite”.Sorry.”
“I used an English cuke and doubled the rest of the ingredients which gave me a quart.I’ve done similar with white vinegar so this was slightly different and very good.Made for “I Recommend”, a tag game.”
“My grandmother used to make these for just about every meal at her house, because everyone liked them!Sometimes she would add a little sugar to sweeten them up.She used to separate the rings in with the cucumbers.Thanks for the sweet memories!”
“I made this yesterday and really like it! I doubled the recipe and for good measure threw in a small bag of baby carrots. Everything so crunchy & crisp!”
