00:00Is it just me?

00:00Or does y'all Southern Mama also have a mayonnaise jar

00:03full of dressed cucumbers at her house

00:04at all times during the summer?

00:06Here's what you do.

00:07When your mayonnaise jar is just about empty,

00:09slice up some cucumbers, some sweet Vidalia onions,

00:13and a little bit of fresh dill.

00:14We're gonna pack those inside the mayonnaise jar.

00:18I like to layer my onions and cucumbers alternately

00:21in the jar.

00:21Once your veggies are all packed in there,

00:23get a little bit of granulated sugar,

00:25sprinkle it in, some white vinegar.

00:27Are you even Southern if you don't have

00:29the full gallon jug?

00:30Little bit of salt and shake it up.

00:32Keep it in the fridge, eat on it until you run out,

00:35and just keep the jar going.

00:36My mama, she wouldn't be caught dead

00:38without this in her fridge.

00:39I love visiting my parents year round,

00:41but summertime on the farm, nothing beats this.
