These are really nice to make a batch of and keep in the fridge all summer...as I mentioned earlier, I like thinking about summery foods when the weather is so awful here, it cheers me up  .
Wilted Cucumbers
2/3 cup vinegar (wine or cider)
1/3 cup water
4 tablespoons honey or sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 medium-sized cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced
Fresh black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill (or 2 teaspoons dried)
1. Combine the vinegar, water, honey or sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat just to the boiling point, then remove from heat.
2. Place the onion and cucumber slices in a medium-large bowl, and add the hot liquid. Cool to room temperature; add pepper and dill.
3. Transfer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Chill until cold. Approximately 4 to 6 servings.

No, I've only used apple cider and red wine vinegars because I've never had any rice wine vinegar on hand (don't know what I'd use it for since I don't make sushi at home). But give it a try and let us know how it turns out.
