SWEET AND SOUR CUCUMBERS
Warning: these can be addictive! Serve these with anything but I think they're especially good with grilled salmon or cold poached salmon for a light summer dinner. Original recipe comes from a June 1981 issue of Bon Appetit in the RSVP section. The recipe was requested from The Voyagers Restaurant in Albany, California. Make this the day before or early in the morning of the day you want to serve them. Note: if using English cucumbers, omit seeding the cucumbers.I've also added thin slices, cut into eighths, of a sweet onion such as the Texas 1015 or Vidalia to the cucumber/vinegar mixture occasionally.

BEST EVER SWEET PICKLES
I pack away homegrown cucumbers every summer. This recipe is based on the pickled veggies in Brown Eggs and Jam Jars by Aimee Wimbush-Bourque, but I've made it less mustardy and more garlicky to fit my family's tastes. This method keeps them incredibly, refreshingly crunchy. -Ellie Martin Cliffe, Taste of Home Digital Deputy Editor

We have a tradition at our house to serve this creamy cucumber salad with the other Hungarian specialties my mom learned to make from the women at church. It's especially good during the summer when the cucumbers are freshly picked from the garden. -Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio

SWEET-AND-SOUR QUICK PICKLES
Inspired by classic bread-and-butter pickles, these sweet-and-sour pickles are a bit more sour than sweet with a hint of mustard and dill. Apple cider vinegar lends a fruitier flavor to the no-cook brine than white vinegar, which is often used for making cucumber pickles.

SWEET AND SOUR CUCUMBER SLICES
I love these cucumbers. This recipe comes from 'A Spoonful of Ginger' by Nina Simonds who says that cucumbers eaten during the summer dissipate heat. They also are considered to have diuretic and laxative effects. I can't really attest to all that but I can tell you that these slices are really tasty.
