mom's notes

We had tons of cucumbers from Otis/Dad’s garden this summer. I struggled with what to do with them all besides giving many away. This recipe helped deal with the cucumbers that got super large before we could pick them. FYI, I kind of combined recipes I got from Grandma and Karla—so this is a hybrid. The cucs are quite tasty, but next time I make them, I will put in less salt than what is on the recipe. I added, onion garlic, green pepper according to taste. The little pepper was an afterthought which I really appreciated.
