We love cucumbers fresh out of the garden and these are our favorite ways to enjoy them!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
Cucumbers either in vinegar or creamed is a dish we must have every summer in my household. This vegetable is a very rewarding garden crop. My family likes them raw, creamed, in vinegar and preserved as pickles. Basically, any way you make them, we’ll eat them. You will find both versions of this recipe in the recipe card below. We love to make them both up and enjoy them with a light meal for dinner on those hot days.
There’s more to Southern food than just recipes
…there are the wonderful stories behind them. The smell of homemade jam cooling in the kitchen… the snap of green beans on the porch with your grandmother and the sound of screen doors slamming. At The Southern Lady Cooks, we share the how — but at Front Porch Life, we share the why. Our readers shared their beautiful summer memories.
SWAPS & ADDITIONS
Some people love to add fresh tomatoes to the creamed recipe. You can switch out the seasonings in any recipe if you like, this is just how our family enjoys them. Some people use cider vinegar instead of the white vinegar. For a real treat.. read the comments on this recipe. I love them all!
