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. It’s an excellent way to preserve excess vegetables you have on hand.

I do red onions and cucumbers often. Just did baby carrots and those were good also.
No mustard seeds?
Pickle some turnips for donairs, please.
You've gotta try pickling jalapenos, they are awesome
Uhh I think people pickle those all the time
Personally, i'm against water in my pickling liquid. I want as much sour as I can get 🙂
I’m confused you pointed to this and this are not the same thing. I didn’t know what the other this was.
Usual condiment to swedish meatballs
I put gochujang paste in my pickles and it's a game changer
Who's gonna tell him
Quick pickles and beets are awesome
My Grandma used to make pickled cucumber all the time… it's really good 👍😊
Ruin it with sugar.
I can’t believe no one’s tried to pickle cucumbers before.
Where are the mustard seeds 🙁
200 IQ. I would have never thought of pickling the humble cucumber!
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.
These would be a nice accompaniment with Rollmops and pickled radish.
If you add some whole peppercorns and a little bit of vingar you get what we in Sweden call "sandwich cucumber" aka smörgås gurka. It goes great with liver paste and some cheese on your sandwich 😊
And you store them in the fridge? Is botulism a concern?
I have purchased pickled fruit too. Citrus fruits especially. I guess just about any veggie/fruit can be pickled
Did my man just invite the pickle
BROTHER that cucumer is not humble
let the water cook before pour.
Pickling cucumbers? Why I’ve never heard of such a thing! Truly a novel concept!
Mine ended up completely bland 🙁 what did I do wrong??
Reddish
That semi close to what we in Denmark call. Cucumber salat.. here its a thin slice pickle.
That’s not a mason jar
I'm not slashing my cucumber, mate.
My childhood snacks! 😋 Since my mother refused to teach me and you will.

Yes I thought it was about time that somebody invented pickling of cucumbers! Congratulations you discovered pickles
Good video
One question, I know you add sugar to balance the salt, but why not just add less salt?
How dare you pickled cucumbers should be diced into triangles
God, this man would love pickles
Pickling cucumbers? Preposterous! I mean, what the hell would you even call it?!
