Tips

Before serving, brush the cucumber surface with a little KOTSAM Green Plum for a glossy finish. Other source ideas: 1 tbsp concentrate with iced soda and mint; an equal-parts oil-and-concentrate dressing with lemon; or a concentrate, soy and ginger marinade with a two-hour refrigerated marinating step. Jar size depends on the size of the cucumbers.
