Be warned – this recipe makes about 20 jars! Plenty for your friends & family this Christmas.
You will need to sterilise your jars in advance – there’s a good guide here.
Cut the cucumbers into circles and the onions thinly.
In a large bowl mix the onions and cucumbers with salt. Leave to stand for 2 hours and drain the water released by the veg
In a large pot add all the vegetables and the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil. Add some cayenne pepper if you would like a bit of a kick. Let it simmer for around 15 minutes.
While it’s bubbling start placing it in jars, making sure you get veggies and brine!
Submerge the jars half way in a pot of boiling water. Simmer the water for around 15 minutes.
Carefully remove the jars and flip them upside down. This creates a vacuum in the jar and seals it.
Once they have cooled, store in a cool place.
And if the above seems like a bit too much work… you can buy from Gabi for £3.90 for a jar / 3 for £10. Christmas chutneys and sauces, and little Christmas gift parcels are also available. Collection can be arranged from the Union Club (when we are open!) or delivery can be organised based on location and size of order.
