PICKLED CUCUMBER


Prep Time: 10 mins - Cook Time: 30 mins - Total Time: ca. 45 minutes - Makes: a number of jars, depending on the number of cucumbers you use.


INGREDIENTS

You can use any vegetable for pickling. We used cucumber in this recipe. Depending on the amount of cucumbers, you can make the brine.

  • cucumber or vegetable of your preference

Brine

For 1,5 liter of brine you need:

  • 3 cups vinegar

  • 3 cups water

  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoon of sea salt

  • 2 tablespoons of sugar

EQUIPMENT

  • Big pot

  • Number of glass jars for pickling

  • Sharp knife

  • Bowl for mixing for making pickle spice

PREPARATION

  • Clean your cucumbers

  • Dice them up into whatever size and shape you like.

  • Use clear glass jars, wash them and rinse them with hot water.

  • Make the spice mixture.

  • Add the vegetables to the jars. Don’t overfill. Shake the jar after adding the vegetables. If all of the vegetable pieces move, you are good to go.

  • Make the brine


INSTRUCTIONS

  • Make the brine: Place all of the ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil until everything is dissolved. Let it boil for two minutes and then remove from the heat

  • After your brine is made, pour it into the jars, over the vegetables and spices, and be sure to leave it within 1 centimeter from the top.

  • After pouring your brine into the jars, some bubbles may be forming on top. Remove them by tapping the jars against the counter.

  • Make sure that the vegetables are fully covered with the brine and seal the jars.


STORAGE:

  • Place the jars in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before eating

  • The pickled cucumber will be good for up to 2 month in the refrigerator.
