International Pickle Day: Asia gherkins

Pickle day On September, 16th New York City (and the NY Food Museum) will be celebrating the 7th International Pickle Day, the best husband of all and I will also celebrate our wedding anniversary. Foodfreak 30.09.2023 ** calls on food lovers for joining this pickling endeavour and post about pickling experience.

I grew up with mustard pickles, gherkins and ordinary pickles and I hate them. Getting older I could eat them, but didn’t love them until I found the sweet-and-sour products from this company, like dill cornichons. We also like the asia gherkins and curry gherkins. I found a recipe for sweet-and-sour pickling in the cookbook I inherited from my grandmother.

You need:
1 kg cucumber, peeled and cored
300 ml white balsamico
150 ml water
10 grams brown mustard seed
5 g cinnamon sticks
3 cloves
1 heaped teaspoon curry, I chose Schuhbecks’s *
10 g ginger, peeled
1 teaspoon salt

Bring all the ingredients, beside the cucumber to a boil, skim and add the cucumber. Cook on medium heat until the cucumbers get translucent. The cucumbers should not get tender. With a slotted spoon give the cucumbers into the sterilized jars, bring the liquid to the boil again and pour hot over the cucumbers. Close the jars and turn upside down for 2 minutes, turn the jars and keep at a cool place. Wait 4 weeks before you try the gherkins.

September 28th: They are as good as 4 years ago! This could have also been my submission to the WTISIM-Event: Savoury Preserves hosted by Johanna, The Passionate Cook.

    Hallo,

    ich liebe alte kochbuchen. They have that wonderful smell of old paper. And being Slavic, pickled Gherkins are inevitable at our table. Now that I live in Sweden, I dont eat them anymore :-( Thanx for reminding me the taste of back home. Shoould make myself some… Talking about gifts, I myself am hosting an event that is dedicated to giving food as a present. I would love you to have a look and maybe you could come up with something?_http://www.burntmouth.com/2007/10/spoonful-of-christmas.html im Webarchiv abrufbar
