Sweet Hot Cucumber Salad


 I love to make this and eat this year round.  It is especially good with fresh cucumbers from the garden.  It is a great side to any meal.  I've even served it for Thanksgiving.

1 cup vinegar                     1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
3/4 cup water                     dash of Parsley
3/4 cup sugar                      1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt                            Dash of Basil

3-4 sliced cucumbers

Very refreshing side dish!
Heat to boiling all ingredients except cucumbers.  Pour hot liquid over sliced cucumbers.  Put in refrigerator to cool for several hours.  Serve chilled.

Mmm I need to add this to my recipe collection. I've eaten this a few times at your house and it's always good and refreshing with a little kick to it. I'll buy some cucumbers tomorrow!
