We always ate these growing up. I guess I never knew that my Grandma Wickstrom's sister (Jeanette's) daughter, Muriel Johnson, had the recipe until I was going through my mom's (Lonnie) cookbook. We spent every holiday and special occasion with them.
These cucumbers are so yummy, especially on a hot summer day.
This is Lonnie's hand-written recipe from her cookbook:
