Whats the vinegar, sugar and sour cream ratio?

Pine got it right. The vinegar and sugar goes in first. I prefer a little more tart. Then it's regular dining tablespoons of sour cream to get it kind of creamy. The sugar is just sort of dumped in until it breaks through the pure sour. After you make it a few times you'll get used to doing it.

When Mamma makes it, she uses equal amounts sugar and vinegar. We don't like it that sweet. {or like the calories from the sugar}

I like Cukes almost anyway but here is one to try and one that I really like.

Slice larger cucumbers endways into about 1/4" thick slices. Put flour on both sides and fry in a pan with shortening. Salt and pepper.

When they turn medium brown and slightly crispy, take them off and eat when hot.

That is the way to make a healthy vegetable unhealthy, but that is good for once or twice a year. :thumbsup:

Does it matter the type of vinegar used, apple cidar or white distilled etc?

 

[the old grind]

Chunked cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. Salt & pepper. Vinegar and sugar. Sour cream. Mix in a bowl. Store in the fridge for an hour or two. It tastes a little bit better if you let it get a little closer to room temp before serving.

Similar to Larro Darro's suggestion, too. Sliced cukes & chunked tomatoes, w/sweet onions (Vidalias preferred) every other batch or so. Thin Miracle Whip (much sweeter than mayo) with a spoon of water & dashes of vinegar and/or lemon juice to a runny consistency. Add black pepper to suit.

Serve very cold on a hot day with a sandwich of hard salami on wheat or rye with brown mustard and a glass of lemonade. Salad equivalent of a root beer float on the hottest but will 'stick to your ribs' & more likely to get you back on the job after lunch.

I've always used white. But it might work with the apple cider.

I almost always use apple cider vinegar...but sometimes use a red wine vinegar...
