Apologies for being slightly off topic

Does anyone have a recipe for Norwegian sweet pickled cucumber.? The
Norwegians seem to buy it in shops. Recipes I have been given when in
Norway don't seem to work - perhaps the ingredients do not translate well or
I am inept. None of my books seem to have the right formula.

The cucumbers are obviously young, thinly sliced and in a white sweet
vinegar. What we buy when in Norway soon gets used up and I would like to
make my own.

I found this on the web for *Danish* pickled cucumbers

DANISH PICKLED CUCUMBERS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 large cucumbers
2 c. water
1/4 c. mustard seed
2 tsp. whole allspice
2 tsp. dill seed
2 tsp. salt
3 c. cider vinegar
2/3 c. sugar
2 tsp. whole cloves
2 tsp. white peppercorns
6 large shallots, chopped

Trim ends off cucumbers; peel cucumbers and cut in half
lengthwise. Scoop out and discard seeds. Cut cucumbers
crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Divide slices equally
between two jars, each 1-quart size. In a 2 to 3 quart pan,
combine vinegar, water, sugar, mustard seed, cloves, allspice,
peppercorns, dill seed, shallots and salt. Bring mixture; to a
boil on high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cool to room
temperature. Pour over cucumbers. Cover and chill to blend
flavors, at least 24 hours or up to 7 days. Makes about 2
quarts.
