Description

Similar to a gherkin, these easy pickles can be made in minutes and eaten the same day. Once you make the cucumbers, be sure to try radishes, asparagus, or even peas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1tbsp pink peppercorns
  • 200ml (6.75 fluid ounces) cider vinegar
  • 2tsp salt
  • 2tsp agave syrup
  • 200ml (6.75 fluid ounces) water

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumber very finely.
  2. Layer the cucumber slices in a medium preserving jar. Alternate the layers with whole garlic cloves and pink peppercorns.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the cider vinegar with the salt and agave syrup, until the salt has dissolved. Pour over the cucumber slices. Top up the jar with water, all the way to the top.
  4. Close the jar tightly and place in the fridge. They will be good to eat 24 hours later, and will keep up to three weeks.
