Marinaded Cucumbers

Marinaded Cucumbers. Great way to use fresh cucumbers from the garden!!

I think I may need to install an electric fence around my garden.  My kiddo’s go to the garden and get snacks all the time.  Especially Payson.  That little boy is constantly picking my carrots and cucumbers.  He takes the carrots to the hose and gives them a good rinse and eats them.  One time he even ate the green top of the carrot.  By the way, I’m just kidding about the electric fence idea.  I love my boys eating all the yummy produce from the garden.

I wait all year long to get enough cucumbers to marinade.  They are so yummy and couldn’t be easier.  You will love the freshness of these Marinaded Cucumbers!!  They have a tangy sweet combination that makes you want more.

Sliced Garden Cucumbers

Wash cucumbers. I use the sink for washing, not the hose. You could peel the cucumbers if the skin is thick. I think they are pretty with the skins on.  Slice into rounds about 1/8″ thick.

Slice some onions too.

Marinade for cucumbers  Mix together sugar, vinegar, water, salt and dill weed.

Sweet Marinaded Cucumbers

Pack cucumbers, onions and dill heads (optional) into containers.  Pour syrup over cucumbers.  Chill for several hours.  Keeps for about a week in the refrigerator. Once the cucumbers are gone you can add more to the same marinade for a few batches.

  1. This recipe is so quick and easy, I love it. What could be easier than growing, slicing, marinating and eat fresh cukes. And with this recipe, you can even use the marinade over and over again.

    If I wasn’t taking the grape salad to our RS getting to know you tomorrow night, I would taking these.

    I am glad your little boys love eating right out of the garden, and I am glad you do too. What could be better for little boys than eating fresh veggies they helped plant, water and watched grow? That really is the law of the harvest in action.
