Mom's Old Fashion Sour Cream Cucumbers

Serves 4 to 6. There will be no leftovers.


2 fresh picked garden cucumbers from your vegetable garden.
1/2 teaspoon salt, plain or iodized.
1 teaspoon granulated white sugar.
2 tablespoons cider vinegar.
1 cup fresh sour cream (Check the expiration date on the lid).
1/2 teaspoon celery seed.
2 tablespoons freshly picked and chopped dill from your herb garden.
2 tablespoons freshly picked and chopped chives from your herb garden.

HINT: If chives are not available or in season, you may use chopped green onion or scallions.

  1. Dissolve the salt and sugar in the vinegar, then add the sour cream and stir until smooth. You may adjust the vinegar, salt or sugar to a sweet - sour taste.
  2. Add the chives, dill and celery seed.
  3. Slice the cucumbers, unpared, paper-thin and combine with the sour cream dressing.
  4. Chill for 2 hours or more. The sour cream cucumbers improve in taste as they marinate.

Hmmm... good. Thanks MOM...!

Additional Serving Hint: This recipe is wonderful for dipping chips, and other fresh picked garden vegetable goodies into the sour cream dressing...!

Taste of Gloucester Cook Book The Taste of Gloucester - A Fisherman's Wife Cooks - 8th Edition
"The Taste of Gloucester" cookbook was created by the Gloucester Fishermen's Wives and the Cape Ann League of Women's Voters to share recipes of lesser known species of fish as well as familiar ones. Their cookbook, The Taste of Gloucester has sold over 200,000 copies. The Taste of Gloucester recipes are drawn from tradition and are variations of ethnic specialties for different occasions. The original purpose of the cookbook was the promotion of underutilized fish to help the local fleet diversify. Squid, Atlantic Herring and Shark recipes are scattered among those for more familiar species. Copies of The Taste of Gloucester - 8th Edition, can be ordered through the Yankee Grocery Country Store.
