How To Make Pickled Cucumbers

2 Comments

Pickles.

I LOVE pickles. When I heard about a recipe for cucumbers, I knew I had to give it a try. Someone had just offered me some cucumbers, showed me even the recipe that I had heard about the day before, and the next morning, I was found in our kitchen making pickled cucumbers. Never did I think a “pickle” could taste so good! Granted this aren’t pickle-pickles (ones that you buy from the store), but both my husband and I decided that these are REALLY good. Not sure if I will ever buy pickles again! In fact, I eat them for a snack!

Pickled Cucumbers
Start with fresh cucumbers from your garden or store
Slice 7 cups worth of cucumbers (I prefer skin on)
 Slice up 1 onion and mix with cucumbers
Add 2 tsp. salt

 

In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups sugar, 1 tsp. celery seed, and 1 tsp. mustard seed (as you can see, I used ground mustard)

 

Mix in 1 cup white vinegar

 

Bring the sugar, celery seed, mustard seed, and vinegar to a boil, until the sugar is dissolved.

 

Pour over the cucumber mixture. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. You can either refrigerate them or place them in freezer containers and freeze.

  1. Might have a go at this! Could you also substitute sliced courgettes instead of cucumbers to make 'bread and butter' pickle?
    (Also, did you mean to put the bottle in fridge not freezer?)

  2. It is definitely worth a try! Honestly, I think you tweak this recipe to whatever you want it to be! Give it a whirl! Actually, you really can freeze this recipe too! So the fridge and freezer are both an option!
