I'm not a fan of cucumber but I do love this pickle, especially with nibbles or a salad.
3-4 (500g) Lebanese cucumbers thinly sliced
1 large brown onion thinly sliced (about 200g)
1/4 C (70g) coarse cooking salt
1 C (250ml) white vinegar or ACV
1 C (220g) white sugar
2 t mustard seeds
1/2 t dried chilli flakes
1/4 t ground turmeric
1 Night before: Combine cucumber and onion in non-metallic bowl, sprinkle with salt. Mix well, cover and stand overnight.
2 Next morning: Rinse and drain cucumber mix, and spoon in sterilised jars.
3 While cucumber is draining, put rest of ingredients in tmx and cook about 2 minutes/Varoma/speed 2. Mix should have just boiled.
4 Pour over cucumber, mix and seal and label jars.
Store in cool dark place for 3 weeks before opening. Store in fridge after opening.
Serve on hamburgers, sandwiches, in salads or with cheese and crackers.
Notes
I only use a few dried chilli flakes (I don’t like “heat” much) and add a little extra tumeric.
Use a mandolin to slice the cucumber and onion.
Add some finely sliced red capsicum for extra colour.

These sound perfect for us. I was just telling DH and he said we were to make some. He wants to put some dill in too.
-
This sounds like something I would like to make.

It looks a delicious recipe Gayle 8)

I’m doing the first stage of this recipe tonight, doubling the recipe, can’t believe I used the mandolin and didn’t cut my finger off! Any idea how many jars this recipe makes please Gayle or anyone who has made it.
-
All done, 7 x 250 ml jars from a double batch.

I must make some more of these ready for summer. I hate using the mandolin but I do. DH usually does it for me!

The pickles look good Judy.
