Pickled Cucamelons

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • Enough pickles to fit one pint jar
  • 125 ml cider vinegar
  • 125 ml water
  • 2.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 garlic cloves smashed
  • 2 tsp dill leaves
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp black mustard seeds

Instructions
 

  • Prep the jars by washing, then sterilizing both lids and jars with boiling water. Allow them to air dry, or speed it up by putting them in a low temp. oven
  • Wash and dry the cucamelons. Trim away the blossom end of the cucumber, and leave whole or cut as desired.
  • Add the spices to the jar(s) then pack the pickles into the jars. Leave a little room at the top of the jar.
  • Bring the pickling brine to a boil - combine the vinegar, water, and salt in a small pan over high heat. Pour it over the pickles, leaving a little room at the top. Depending on the type of pickles, and room available, you may have extra brine.
  • Gently tap the jars against the counter a few times to remove all the air bubbles. Top off with more pickling brine if necessary.
  • Screw the lids on tight, and then let the jars cool to room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate if you're not processing for longer storage.
