In this video we'll show you how to make incredibly tasty pickled gherkins/cucumbers to use up the excess cucumbers that are grown in our greenhouse. It's incredibly easy to do and the results are tasty and can be spiced and flavoured to your own preferences. You'll never buy a commercially pickled gherkin again once you've tried them.
We grow our own food on our smallholding and endeavour to be self-sufficient.

Next time I get a minute, I'll do more preserving Harry. Juggling work & the smallholding right now (sigh). Hugh

These look lush, and speaking as one who very effectively removed the tip of my right index finger with our mandolin, the cut-proof glove is a genius idea.

@EnglishCountryLife 4 года назад

They are SO easy to hurt yourself on aren't they? I wish I could claim originality, but it was something I saw and thought "genius" ☺️

Brilliant job. Your videos are So professional. Thanks for your efforts. Makes me so happy watching them. We pickle these too.

Thank you, that's really kind of you. I don't understand why pickled cucumber isn't more common. Everyone I give it to thinks its delicious

Took me back to my 1970's childhood, when we'd have cucumber in vinegar with pepper with our Sunday tea. I'm going to make some, I used to really like it!

You should try the Polish style salt-water fermented ones. They keep a long time, are super healthy and taste great.

@EnglishCountryLife 4 года назад

Hi Sam! How are you? Long time no see. You are totally right, I must video the lacto fermentation process. I confess I've never done it with cucumber though. Hugh

@coralieallen6405 11 месяцев назад

Great video thank you. Just a question, do you need to slice the cucumbers? I have small cucumbers and was wondering if I could do this but keep them whole? Would it make a difference? Thanks for your advice.

@EnglishCountryLife 11 месяцев назад

Hi! With small gherkins it should certainly work, but I would brine them longer as it's harder for the water to get through the skin

@coralieallen6405 11 месяцев назад

@@EnglishCountryLife any idea roughly how much longer I should brine them? Thank you for your help

@H2Dwoat 3 года назад

Hi, great vid thanks 👍. I for one would like to see more food preservation videos. A quick question, are the pickles shelf stable and if so how long are they good for? If they need to be refrigerated, again how long are they good for? I love pickles but I’m not sure how quickly I could get through the amount you made.

@EnglishCountryLife 3 года назад

Hello! They are definitely shelf stable. I've never run tests for how long they last, but at least three years! Hugh

@missjennemeg1 3 года назад

Why don't you need canning jars?

@EnglishCountryLife 3 года назад

The preservative action is that of the vinegar. The high acidity has an antimicrobial action so, provided the jar is lidded in some way, its fine. Here in the UK we don't use canning jars for ham, jelly, pickles or chutney as its the nature of the contents that prevents spoilage, rather than the pasteurisation involved in pressure canning.

@@EnglishCountryLife cool. Thanks so much. ... I guess some things will need canning jars?? ... Or if I don't want to use vinegar I would need canning jars?
