Grammie's pressgurka (Swedish cucumbers) Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Steps:

  • Cut cucumbers into the thinnest possible slices. (you don't have to peel.. Grandma Mae didn't but Grammie does) Arrange slices in a bowl. Whisk together the white distilled vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and parsley. Pour over the cucumbers. Place a plate with a weight over the cucumbers to squeeze out the liquid. Chill for 1 hour. (the longer you chill before serving the stronger the taste)

2 fresh cucumbers
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 -2 teaspoon rough ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
1 teaspoon caraway seed (optional)

GRAMMY'S SPICE COOKIES

This recipe for spice cookies came to The Times from Claire Will of San Francisco after a callout for favorite holiday recipes. At first, it seemed rather plain Jane, but the hefty dose of ground cloves (3/4 teaspoon) was what lured me into testing it, and I have to admit I was skeptical. I was soon a believer. Of the five kinds of cookies I served to a group at a holiday party, those crisp-edged, soft-centered beauties were the first to vanish. One friend texted on his way home, "send recipe for spice cookies a.s.a.p."

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat 12 tablespoons butter with the granulated sugar, molasses and egg until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Slowly beat in flour, baking soda, spices and salt.
  • Shape dough into walnut-size balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake until firm, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on wire racks.
  • To make the icing, beat remaining 4 tablespoons butter with the confectioners' sugar until smooth. (Go slowly so you don't create a sugar storm.) Beat in the vanilla and enough cream or milk, and whiskey (if using), to make a spreadable frosting. Slather on fully cooled cookies.

PRESSED CUCUMBER SALAD (PRESSGURKA)

Posting for ZWT6 for the Scandinavia region. This was found online for Swedish recipes. Sounds like a great refreshing salad to add to any dinner. Update: 7/21/2011, I made this to go along with dinner the other night. I added some slices of tomato and onion. Due to the fact that I like things tart, I decreased the sugar and a little on the salt, but did also add some garlic salt. I feel this is good recipe for those who like it not so tart, especially kids, but feel free to add other veggies and spices!!
