Directions
Aquavit’s Quick Pickled Cucumbers,According to Marcus Samuelsson, this is the most popular Swedish condiment, after Lingonberry preserves, of course. They are an accompaniment to Swedish meatballs, other dishes, even served with hot dogs by street vendors. Cooking time is marinating time.,These are hard to resist as they taste so fresh and yummy. I may try them again with agave to make it a little healthier. The ingredients should include the amount of cucumber and/or length. used 1 hot house cucumber almost a foot long and the marinade was too much so you can cut back by at least 1/4 cup of water and sugar.
