Pickled Gherkins (or other veg)
approx 3 kg gherkins 100g plain salt (not iodised)
Wash gherkins.Put in a large bowl with the salt, add 1200 ml cold water, mix to dissolve salt.Leave at least 12 hours,up to 24 hours.
Drain and rinse in cold water.Pack tightly into jars,fill up jars with cold spiced vinegar (as below), distributing the spices evenly.Seal and store for a few weeks before opening.
Spiced vinegar:
1200 ml vinegar - white wine or cider are best 2 sticks of cinnamon 1 tab black or white peppercorns 10 cloves 1 tab mustard seeds 1 tab celery seeds
Mix in a saucepan, simmer 10 minutes, cool.
