Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place cucumber and onion into a large bowl and sprinkle with salt and let it stand overnight to soften vegetables and then rinse and drain well in a colander.

Step 2

Combine vinegar, caster sugar, peppercorns, mustard seeds, fennel sees, chilli flakes and turmeric with 2 cups of water in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to the boil and then simmer for 5 minutes, and then add cucumber and onion slices and bring to a simmer.

Step 3

Step 4

Transfer cucumber and liquid to 2 x 2 1/2 cup capacity sterilised jars (thoroughly wash and rinse jars and lids and then place upside down in an oven at 120C for 10 minutes) packing to 1cm below the top of jars, but not packing too firmly.

Step 5

The liquid needs to coat every slice and then seal and store in cool, dark area for up to 6 months.

I have made two batches of these pickles. I did have an assortment of cucumbers to use and the different types worked perfectly. The first batch my DD tasted and said that they were too sweet, but her partner loved them! So I made another batch and cut the sugar to half, which DD loved.... but my DS wants some now so I am halving to make a batch of the sweeter without onions! I use the basics of this recipe and adjust the sugar to suit tastes, and it works perfectly ever time... so now I am spending my days and night slicing cucumber's and onions to suit all my happy little families tastes! This is a great recipe and I am going to be making this quite often over the next few weeks. They are not even making it to a dark space to store! Thanks Pat.
