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.
