However after shopping for and having fun with a jar of cornichons for Christmas final 12 months and discovering and rising the tray of gherkin vegetation, I now have a jar of pickled gherkins. ……..and despite the fact that vinegary issues weren’t my favorite I now even have 4½ jars of Candy Cucumber Pickle.
All as a result of 4 small cucumbers appeared after I already had 1½ within the fridge. So I discovered a recipe and had all of the substances in the home.
The recipe – Oxburgh’s Candy Cucumber Pickle, got here from the Nationwide Belief guide of Jams, Preserves and Edible Presents and used the 4 small cucumbers plus onion, celery, salt, cider vinegar, mustard seeds, tender brown sugar with a bit of turmeric and floor cloves.
There’s sufficient sugar to make it candy and bitter which is sweet, I’ve eaten the half jar already and I am pondering of constructing extra however leaving the cucumber in greater items.
One other lot of gherkins have appeared on my vegetation so I must kind them out immediately. And now I can see I ought to have left the primary lot I picked to get a lot greater…..like this
