Here is what I posted before.
1/2 cup white vinegar 2 cups of water 1/8 to 1/4 cup salt, olive oil to completely cover the top and fresh dill if you have it.
Steep dill seeds and weed in hot water and let cool.
Refrigerate and serve at you next meal
Here is what you do, take a said amount of water, and add a little vinegar to it until it tastes like you remember your mothers tasted.
She may or may not have used salt but I bet she did.
It would be called marinated cucumbers.
Most people use way too much vinegar, this will break down the cucumber slices and make them limp.
Where as the salt will cause osmosis to take place bringing the flavor inside the cucumber.
