We had our granddaughter, Maggie, with us recently, and she had her first taste of "grammie's" Cucs and Onions (already a favorite of her cousin, Abby). She wasn't sure she would like them, but her grandpa asked her to give them a try, and she's a very adventuresome eater for a 5 yr old. Read more ..so she took a bite, and suddenly she had a new "favorite" - she finished up the leftovers for breakfast the next morning! Maggie, my sweet, this one is for YOU!!! Love, Grammie See less
Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers, peeled and very thinly sliced shopping list
- salt shopping list
- 1 sweet onion, very thinly sliced shopping list
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar shopping list
- 1/3 cup water, and just a “splash” more shopping list
- 4 tablespoons white sugar shopping list
- salt and pepper, to taste (I use a good 1+ tsp of salt and about 5 good shakes of pepper) shopping list
How to make it
- Put prepared cucumbers in a large bowl and heavily salt them; let them set for 30 minutes, then generously rinse the salt off of the cucs and drain them well.
- Add sliced onion (Vidalia onions are the best, when they’re in season).
- In a 1 cup measuring cup, measure in the 1/3 cup vinegar, add water to equal just a tad bit more than 2/3 cups total liquid.
- Add sugar and stir briskly to dissolve it in the liquid.
- Season with salt and pepper – you really need to “taste test” here to get it to your preference of saltiness/sweetness.
- Pour mixture over cucs and onions and let set 30 minutes or more.
- You can serve them immediately, but the flavors “blend” if you can let it set for awhile.
- Refrigerate leftovers (and if you're like Maggie, eat them the next day for breakfast - or as Abby likes to do: eat them while playing cards after dinner!!).

I'm another Maggie that loves cucumbers and onions in vinegar. This is a dish I'd make my mom make when I was younger too.

Hey, my Mom made these almost to the tee. Her one differance was that she added a couple tablespoons of sour cream to the final product and let it set for at least an hour before serving. Thanks for such a great post!
