Helpful hints
-
The longer cucumbers and onions marinate, the softer they become and more flavors are absorbed also.
-
Sweet and Sour Cucumbers can be stored in a canning jar. Great for gifts.
-
Note the serving size and added sugar. If you are also managing diabetes, speak with your dietitian or doctor if this is fine to incorporate into your diet.
