I would say "to taste". For me, it would be a balance of sweet and
sour so neither one stood out.

My Swedish grandmother's sweet & sour cucumber recipe called for equal
amounts of sugar, vinegar and water.... she used one cup of each.
Place sugar and water in a saucepan, heat until the sugar has melted,
take off the heat and add vinegar. When the mixture has cooled,
combine with sliced cucumbers and onions. Refrigerate until serving
time - at least one hour.
