A recipe for spicy pickled cucumbers
Thursday, October 11, 2018
These spicy pickled cucumbers are so easy to make and simply delicious. They are perfect in a salad, as a garnish or simply for snacking!
I have been growing my own cucumbers and am amazed by how many I am getting from one plant. We really are eating them with everything!
I decided to try my hand at pickling them and storing them in Kilner Jars. I had a play around with a few spice variations before coming up with this combination. Most pickle recipes have some sugar but I was keen to avoid it to keep it as a healthy option. I’m glad I did as the end result was delicious. I can’t wait to make some more!
