   Drain. Cut cucumbers into chunks, slices or strips as desired. Return to jar. Add 8 cups sugar, or less according to taste (Elba uses four cups, Dorothy Phillips uses six). Let stand on cabinet top 3 to 4 days, until sugar dissolves to make its own juice. Store in the refrigerator. Add a bud of garlic in the bottom of the jar to add more flavor, if desired.
