Bitter cucumbers?!


Question:

Bitter cucumbers?

I have cucumbers growing in my backyard and they've turned out to be very bitter. Does anyone have a good pickle recipe or something that would save these cucumbers?


Answers:

To take the bitter out of a cucumber, even out of a very very bitter cucumber, slice a thin piece off stem end of the cucumber and rub back and forth briskly, slice agianst sliced end, just for a few seconds. You can repeat with the other end. Then just peel and slice. You will usually see a foamy substance when you rub, just cut a small slice off before you use the rest of the cucumber. I was amazed when I was taught this little trick.
