Simple Pickled Cucumber with Dill Recipe
My Dad taught me this recipe as his Moeder used to make it when he was young. Every now and then, normally in the middle of a hot Summer, Dad would crave this pickled cucumber and then set about making it himself.
This is a simple version of the pickled cucumber recipe, perfect for using when you want to eat now. For a more complicated version look here.
