Highly reccommed these ones .
From Dezzie I made this last year and its become a family favourite already. Pickled cucumbers. 2 long telegraph cucumbers slice into rounds.put to one side then in a pot, 2 cups white sugar, 2 cups cider vinegar, 1 tblsp plain salt,1 teaspn mustard seeds, 1 teaspn tumeric, 1 teaspn black whole peppercorns. bring to boil and simmer for 10mins.leave a few minutes after boiling. have jars warming in oven. place sliced cucumbers in warm jars, and pour over hot syrup,to the top. seal with whatever lids come with jars.leave for 1 week, then put in fridge, for a day before eating.
We are still eating them, they keep well, and are lovely on burgers or cheese sandwiches or as a wee pile on the plate with cold meat and salad. To slice them I just used firm pressure down the chute of my food processor with the slicing blade, you need to push quite hard or they are too skinny. Quotedezzie (42 )7:10 pm, Mon 30 Jan #6

I'd highly recommend dezzie's recipe given above. it's lovely. I've made a few jars of this & opened the first one last night to try & it was delicious. The only addition I made was adding a finely cut red capsicum to the boiling mixture & that was purely for the aesthetics & it looks very attractive in the jar. I certainly intend to do more.

I added thinly sliced pickling onions in between the cucumber layers - delcious and I was surprised how crunchy the cucumbers were - although they were lebanese ones.

It's good to know that this recipe is good with Lebanese cucumbers as I have a lot of both types, right now. I also have a glut of beans & wondered if it would work with lightly cooked string beans!
