There is no written recipe for these cucumbers. I learned how to make them watching Mama Lu. If you know how to cook you'll do fine! The recipe came from my Great Grandma Merten, Mama Lu's Grandma! Some of the best recipes we have are from her.
Cucumbers (the small ones are better, less seeds and less chance for bitterness, taste each one for bitterness.)
Water
Salt
Miracle Whip
Half-n-half or milk and cream, whatever you've got.
White Wine Vinegar (regular white is fine)
Onion
Soak the cucumbers in salt water, taste every so often and when you think they are good, drain them. If you've got a lot of time, don't put in as much salt, if you've only got an hour or less add more. Taste!
Once the cucumbers are drained add a little miracle whip to the bowl and then whisk in the vinegar, start with a T at a time, depending on how many cucumbers you've got. Add your milk product of your choice.
Add the onions and pickles and taste, taste, taste! Sometimes I don't even want any when it comes time to eat, I've had to taste them so much, especially the first few times I made them!
