Today I was faced with what to do with a wonderful bounty of Lemon Cucumbers from our Greenhouse. So, I went out onto the InterNet to see what I could find. Of course, I found many great ideas, but, I especially liked
this site. If you check this site out you will find the recipe that I adapted for my own pickles. The difference was I cut my cukes into segments and added red peppers with the onions to give some contrasted colour. The results were amazing!

 |
| Once the liquid mixture came to a boil, I added the cukes and onions and brought it back to a boil. |
 |
| Just look at the beautiful colours! I put a grape leaf at the bottom of each jar to help the cukes stay crisp. |

| Lemon Cucumbers have been called, Lemon Apples, too. |
 |
| The cukes have also been called, Salt & Pepper cukes because of the black bumps on their skin. The bumps look like peppercorns. |
 |
| Whatever you want to call them, Lemon Cukes are a lovely mild, less tart cucumber! Enjoy! |
