Quick Pickled Cucumbers: An Adventure In Cooking From Fäviken - cucumber

Method

• Thinly slice the cucumber, carefully mix in the salt, and let it drain in a colander or sieve for about an hour. The cucumber slices will start to look as if they have been cooked.
• While the cucumbers are draining, mix together the vinegar, sugar, and water to make a pickling solution.
• Rinse any remaining salt from the cucumbers, place them in a ceramic or glass bowl or jar, and completely immerse them with the pickling solution.
• They'll start to taste like pickles within an hour. Store them in the refrigerator.
