Growing up, my Grannie and\/or aunt’s would make cucumbers and onions when we would go camping or having an outside grill night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, trying to manage my weight (like most women these days) cucumbers and onions is my go to sweet snack during the day. Not to mention it is fairly inexpensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoy Lovies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cucumbers & Onions \ud83e\udd52\ud83e\uddc5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 1 cup sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/2 cup apple cider vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 cups warm water (tap water level)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 cucumber med to large<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 medium onion slice thin ( I prefer purple onions personally but use your fav) <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Whisk to combine the first 3 ingredients in a Pyrex or Tupperware container, with a lid, that you will store the cucumbers and onions in. Set to the side; the sugar will dissolve while completing the rest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Slice your cucumbers and onions into your preferred thickness. I like mine on the skinnier side, so I use my mandolin. You can peel the cucumbers, but I like the rinds on, they taste crisper when done <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Put all of the cucumbers and onions in the container you mixed earlier. Make sure everything is submerged. If there isn’t enough fluid, you can make an additional step 1 to combine the brine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Leave in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving. Under normal refrigeration conditions cucumbers and onions can last anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. After this period, while they may still be edible, their quality starts to go down.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Knowing how to identify when the cucumbers and onions will go bad will help you determine whether it still safe to eat. Look for the following signs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Off Smell<\/strong>: A sour or rancid odor is a clear indicator that the cucumbers and onions have gone bad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Discoloration<\/strong>: Any unusual darkening of the cucumbers or the brine can signal spoilage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Mold<\/strong>: Visible mold growth on the surface of the brine or the cucumbers themselves means they should be discarded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Texture Changes<\/strong>: If the cucumbers feel excessively soft or mushy, it is best to err on the side of caution and throw them out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
