Right now, the cucumbers are coming in. I love home grown cucumbers and the ones she is growing this year are supurb. I think they are English cucumbers, so remain narrow and long and never with a bitter skin.
Today, I'm going to give you a common Midwestern Scandinavian recipe for something different to do with cucumbers. If your cucumber skins are bitter, then consider peeling them first. Ingredients aren't exacting here, but cucumbers with large seeds don't work very well. You can still use these large cucumbers if you use a spoon to scoop out the center section, removing seeds. Add more or less sugar. Taste in a couple of hours. Add more sugar if needed. Make this 2-3 hours before serving.
Sweet Cucumbers
1 long English cucumber, washed and sliced thinly
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
Place all in a deep dish and mix together. Cover and refrigerate. After an hour, and every hour until serving, stir to marinate the cucumber.
