Cucumber Pickle

Remember softer vegetables are quicker to ferment!

All the same rules apply, as with the carrot stick recipe below/before see http://quiverfullcooking.blogspot.com.au/2016/10/carrot-sticks-halffull-sour-asian.html . Please read the Carrot stick recipe carefully first and apply all the same rules/ideas, bar the actual brine making! Enjoy!




  • Use fresh crunchy, skinny cucumbers
  • Removes ends
  • Add peeled garlic gloves, mustard, pepper corns, bay leaves or coriander, even Chile, capsicum
  • Stuff into sterilised jars, packing tightly
  • Cover with Brine: full sour brine is 2T sea salt to 2 cups of water while half sour is 1 T sea salt to 2 cups of water
  • Leave for 4-7 days in hotter weather
  • Liquid should become cloudy
  • And cucumbers should turn to an olive-y green in colour.
  • Eat quickly, only last in the fridge for only a month
  • rinse off before you eat or add to cooking
