Recipe | Pickled baby cucumbers
Ingredients:
1 packet (250 g ) baby cucumbers
1 tsp salt 300 ml white vinegar
4 tbsp castor sugar
Method:
1. Trim off the flower ends of the baby cucumbers. The flowers wilt and do not add much to the pickle.
2. Toss the cucumbers with the salt and leave on a colander or sieve to drain. Rinse after several minutes and dry the cucumbers.
3. Place vinegar and sugar into a non-metal pot and bring to the boil. Switch off fire and leave to cool completely.
4. Place cucumbers in a glass jar and pour cooled vinegar over. Leave overnight before eating.
