SUNDAY AFTERNOON TEA QUICK PICKLED CUCUMBER AND ONION
This should be called Mum's quick pickled cucumber and onion, as this is what she made EVERY Sunday afternoon for tea-time! We always had this alongside fresh bread and butter, boiled eggs, cold cuts of meat, fruit cake, scones, sometimes a tin of red salmon and always a pot of tea! Wonderful memories, and an easy and tasty pickle for tea-time food. This is also wonderful with picnic food, smoked salmon or an assorted cheese board.

Steps:
- Use a fork to run through the surface of the cucumber, vertically downwards, to obtain a fluted pattern when sliced.
- Cut cucumber into thin slices and put into a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and mix well. Leave the cucumber for 10 minutes to absorb the salt then rinse with cold water. Drain off excess liquid in a colander. Return cucumber to the large bowl and add the sliced onions.
- Combine sugar and vinegar together. Add to cucumber and onion slices and mix well.
- Decant into a plastic container, and refrigerate overnight or for a few hours before serving.
- Garnish with mint or parsley.
- Keeps in the fridge for a week.
