Pickled baby cucumbers

Prep Time12 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8-10 baby cucumbers
  • 350 ml cider or white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp caster sugar
  • 2 tsp yellow mustard seeds
  • 150 ml water

Instructions

  • Cut the cucumbers lengthwise into thick slices about 3mm thick.
  • Put the remaining ingredients into a pan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat immediately and cool slightly.
  • Place the cucumber slices into a sterilised jar. Pour the warm liquid over the top, making sure all the seeds are added. Lid and shake to mix.
  • When cool place in the fridge and leave for a day before using, giving an occasional shake.

Notes

Tip: Try adding other flavours to the pickling liquor, such as herbs and spices, ginger and chilli. 
You can re-use the brine once more. I have added carrot and radish slices and they have pickled well.
