I did my gherkins in alacto fermentation. they have whey, mustard seeds and dill and water. Sit on the bench for three days then store in fridge. They are nice and not far different from pickling with vinegar. Have just put down my second batch.

Could you post this please. Have Gherkins growing at the moment. TIA

They will not keep forever though - even in the fridge (which will slow them down) they will keep getting softer. So either eat them within 6 months - or "stop" the fermentation by placing them into a spiced vinegar and use the lovely lacto-ferment juice for drinks rather than discard it...

Moishams (is that how you spell it) sell celery seed and also fennel which is needed in the sweet gherkin recipe.

I didn't think my gherkins were really growing then I discovered one I'd missed and now it's rather large, too large for a gherkin:(

I heard an interview with a Maori cook who said fermented food was an important part of the diet in early days partly because so many older people lost their teeth!

Go and eat it like a salad cucumber - whatever you would do with one... there is no difference really!
