Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 Medium Cucumbers or two jars of whole small pickling Cucumbers
  • 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 TBSP Mustard Seeds
  • 2 TBSP Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp ground Turmeric powder

Method
 

  1. Sterilise your jars by heating them in the oven face down at 120degrees Celsius or in the dishwasher on high heat. Sterilise the lids in a bowl by pouring boiling water on them.
  2. In a saucepan add your vinegar, water, sugar, turmeric, salt, and mustard seeds (*optional chili flakes see notes) and bring to a simmer.
  3. Slice your Cucumbers into spears or round slices and place them in the clean jar.
  4. Pour over your pickling liquid and secure the lid. Carefully place the jar upside down to cool. This helps create a secure seal.
  5. Once the jars are close to room temperature, turn them up the right way and add them to the refrigerator.
  6. They will be ready to eat after 48 hours and use within a month or two.

Notes

Add sliced Red Onion, Dill, or Chilli flakes to your cucumber pickles for extra flavour.
This recipe also works with Zucchini in replace of Cucumbers too.
