Pickled Cucumbers
Making your own is super cost effective and makes sure that they aren't any unnecessary additives! Fermented foods are fantastic for our health as they are full of probiotics. This provides beneficial bacteria for our gut microbiome.
Ingredients
Cucumber (qukes or gherkins), whole or sliced
1 cup Water
1/3 cup Vinegar (white or apple cider)
1 tsp Salt
Optional additions:
Mustard Seeds
Dill Seeds
Bay Leaves
Vegetables (like carrots)
Method
1. Add water, vinegar, salt into a bowl and combine.
2. Pour it into a sterilised jar.
3. Add cucumbers, ensuring they are under the brine (a weight can help), close with a lid.
4. Weigh it down so that the cabbage is below the brine.
5. Refrigerate to your liking, an overnight ferment can be enough. Taste test!
