Pickled Cucumbers (Salt-Free Pickles) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cucumbers
1 small red onion, sliced thin
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
3 cups white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dill
1 teaspoon sage (optional)
1 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon sugar

Preparation

Peel cucumbers and cut to your liking. You can cut the cucumber in half, then in long strips lengthwise, or simply cut them in rounds. Totally up to you. I like my in think rounds.
Place cucumbers and onions in a stainless steel bowl large enough for all the ingredients.
Put all the ingredients EXCEPT the cucumbers and onions in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
Pour vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and onions; cover bowl tightly wth aluminum foil or plastic wrap and leave out on counter to cool.
Once cool, refrigerate cucumbers overnight. Before serving, pour off the vinegar mixture and remove peppercorns.
