Cooking Steps
• Thinly slice cucumber into 0.5mm rounds. • Thinly slice brown onion and long chilli (if using). • Transfer cucumber, onion, chilli and rosemary sticks to a large sterilized jar.
TIP: Slicing the veggies very thinly helps them pickle faster!
• To a medium saucepan, add the white wine vinegar, water, white sugar and salt and stir to combine. • Bring to the boil and cook until sugar is dissolved, 1-2 minutes.
• Pour pickling liquid into pickle jar until veggies are covered. Top up with more boiling water if necessary. • Seal with a lid and set aside to cool. Store in the fridge until ready to eat, 2-3 hours or overnight.
TIP: The pickles are best enjoyed the next day!
• Serve sweet and spicy cucumber pickles from the fridge as desired. Enjoy!
