Directions
Cover the cucumbers with water.
Add the garlic and sprinkle well with salt, stirring to dissolve the salt.
Let stand 1 hour. Drain, pressing gently to get rid of excess liquid, and discard garlic.
Stir the vinegar, sugar and 2 tablespoons water together until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour over the cucumbers and stir.
Add salt to taste. Chill well, drain and serve on a bed of watercress.
