PICKLED CUCUMBER

Prep/Cooking Time:

Ingredients

If you wish to add a flavor to the pickle you can do so with a few sprigs of any soft herbs

Instructions

Wash the cucumbers and cut into 1/4"-1/2" slices
Reserve in a bowl till needed
Place the sugar, vinegar and chili flakes in a mixing bowl
Leave till the sugar is dissolved, stir occasionally if necessary to speed it up
Once the sugar is diluted you can add the cucumber
Make sure the cucumber is completely covered with the solution
Cover the bowl and reserve in the fridge
Leave to steep for a minimum of 24 hours before using
The longer they are left the less crunch will remain as they will naturally soften
The vinegar solution can be used twice of three times before becoming diluted
Marinate will dilute as the cucumber will release water as it cures
