Quick Pickle Cucumber ๐Ÿฅ’



Quick Pickle Cucumber

A simple pickling liquid you can use for any vegetable you like.

Ingredients:
– 150ml (5 fl oz) vinegar (any type you prefer)
– 150ml (5 fl oz) water
– 1 tbsp salt
– 1 tbsp sugar
– aromatics of your choice (I used dill, chilli flakes, and black peppercorns)
– 1 cucumber, sliced

Method:
1. Place the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer.
2. Add your sliced vegetables to a clean jar along with any aromatics you’ve chosen. Pour the hot pickling liquid over the vegetables.
3. Leave it to cool completely before sealing the jar. Your pickles are ready to eat once cooled and will keep in the fridge for up to six months.

This method works well with cucumbers, cauliflower, courgettes (zucchini), radishes, and even watermelon rind. Itโ€™s an excellent way to preserve excess vegetables you have on hand.

  1. Need to use Persian cucumbers. Reg ones don't taste the same. I like to salt mine for 30 min then drain the liquid. Give them a cool water bath after and then pickle them. Soooo much better and they seem to last a bit longer. Ive got 3 full weeks out of them this way before they start to turn. If you boil them in the jar for 20 min ( low heat, don't want to pop the glass) then cap it and let them cool you can get a month or 2 out of them but who has time for that.
