Servings: 4 jars
Author: Heidi Roberts
Ingredients
  • 900 gm cucumbers cut into thin slices
  • 350 gm onions sliced very thinly
  • 50 gm salt
  • 350 mil cider vinegar
  • 350 gm caster sugar
  • 30 ml mustart seeds (yellow or black)
  • 30 ml celery seeds
  • 1.25 ml turmeric powder
  • 1.25 ml cayenne pepper or chilli pepper - depending how spicy you want them
Instructions

  1. Place the sliced cucumbers and thinly sliced onions into a large bowl

  2. Add the salt and mix well together

  3. Allow to sit for 3 hours

  4. Drain and rinse well under cold running water then drain again

  5. Bring all of the other ingredients to the boil in a large pan

  6. Add the cucumbers and onions

  7. Reduce the heat to simmering and continue cooking for 2 minutes.

  8. Do not allow the mixture to boil or the pickles may be too limp (a crunch when you bit into the pickle is part of the pleasure)

  9. Pour into hot sterilised jars, top up with the liquid and seal with jam jar covers. Allow to cool before putting on the lids.

  10. Enjoy!
