They just get stronger and softer. :) While you cannot can it, I put it in a jar, and they sit in the fridge for up to 2 months fine. They just get stronger and softer. :)

It is not designed for preserving and would lose all texture if it was attempted. This is just a salad. It is not designed for preserving and would lose all texture if it was attempted.

But I had a question about canning. Would this be possible to either waterbath or pressure cook? Thanks I just stumbled across your site and found this yummy recipe.

I will send you my mom's recipe and you can compare. Jeff dubbed them Quickles, but really it's just a cucumber salad. <em>Craige, I would love to see your mom's recipe.

I have a cucumber salad recipe my mom made always as a filler. No measuring just a bit of this and that. She made it in a certain bowl as well. I was always the squeezer of the cucumbers. My adult daughters grew up with the salad as well with their Oma made it for them. Now that my mom has passed away my daughters ask for me to make it when we all get together. I think its a reminder of the yesterdays. Good memories. <em>There's something about making salads like these in the 'right' bowl that makes them taste even better. -Marisa</em> Funny how dishes our moms made in our childhoods become our comfort foods as adults.
