small pickling cucumbers (such as Kirby)
1 c. apple cider vinegar
1 c. sugar
1 c. water
1/2 t. salt
sterilized quart sized canning jar & lid (leftover pickle jars or mayonnaise jars also will work!)
Peel cucumbers and quarter length wise into long slices.
In non-metallic bowl, mix vinegar, sugar, water & salt until blended well.
Pack cucumber slices vertically in jar. Pour vinegar brine mixture into each jar, completely submerging cucumber slices and filled to about 1/4 inch from top. Shake jar to make sure brine is between cucumbers and and add more brine if needed. Close lid and refrigerate overnight.
(Cook's note: There wasn't a summer that went by in NC where there wasn't freshly sliced cucumbers and tomatoes served at breakfast, lunch and supper. They were staples at EVERY meal! Breakfast Pickles were one of the things my grandfather, "Papa Jim," also had on hand and were always available for breakfast. No canning is necessary and the only hard part is waiting overnight to eat them! When you've eaten all the pickles, just add more cucumbers! )
