Just for a change - Pickled Cucumbers (Aunt Daisy) In a small barrel or stone jar put a thin layer of salt & sugar then grape leaves. Add cucumbers (whole). Repaet till container is full. Seal well & leave 2 months.

The cucumber and red pepper relish is devine.Instead of chopping the cuc I used the blender, it made the relish runnier but it makes a lovely salad dressing.
