Pickled Cucumbers

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup filtered water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons white or raw sugar
  • 1 continental cucumber
  • Mustard seeds
  • Fresh Dill

Instructions
 

  • General pickle recipe is 4:2:2:1 (4 parts vinegar, 2 parts water, 2 parts sugar and 1 part salt).
  • Although you can play around with this mix to find the perfect tang. I used white wine vinegar, raw sugar and pink sea salt for this pickling liquid. Heat up the vinegar, water, salt and sugar until all dissolved.
  • Try not to boil the liquid too much. While the liquid is gently boiling, finely slice cucumber and put in the jar.
  • Pour liquid over the cucumber, adding mustards seeds and fresh dill or herbs. The liquid will gently pickle the cucumber but they will still be crunchy and delicious.
  • Beautiful with a cheese platter with loads of fruits and other raw goodies.
