A nostalgic recipe for a German snack/appetizer and is a common homemade staple item. It’s flavours are a combination of sour and sweet, and are sometimes served alongside barbecued meats or as an accompaniment for dinner.
Ingredients:
2 kg cucumber
½ litre white wine vinegar
½ litre water
500g sugar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
3 tablespoons salt
1 onion, cut into rings
1 bunch dill
Instructions:
