chooklady Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Does anyone have or can they recommend a recipe for the above pickle. I used to have a recipe of my Aunt's but unfortunately she is long gone and I can't find the recipe anywhere. I would be very grateful, I really fancy some this year and hopefully I should have a few cucumbers going spare. Many thanks Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Never tried it so far, but how about this? Apparently it can be made with courgettes too, which is a definite added bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooklady Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 That looks fab, very similar to the one I used before, many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Just wanted to post a "thanks" for mentioning this pickle. I cooked some up yesterday and it does indeed taste great (even though I say so myself ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooklady Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I've made some now. I can't wait to try some with a nice chunk of mature English cheddar. I think I might be making quite a lot more by the amount of cucumbers I've got coming on in the greenhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Ive just started this, but the courgette im using is "tough as old boots", admitedly its been hanging around in the kitchen for quite some time, but I dont know if I should use it (its about 18inches long ) should I use it? should I peel it? should I just bin it and then go and pick another mammoth one from the courgette tree in the lotment? should I give in an not make it at all? hmmm, I should have a poll for this heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllp cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Use it? Yes. Peel it? No. Bin it? No. Just slice it as thin as possible and I reckon you'll be fine. I actually used some "courgettes" that were a similar kind of size, and had to quarter them lengthwise to allow me to chuck it down the chute of my Kenwood for slicing. Worked fine, though.

bluekarin Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thank you posting this recipe, and also the link to a wonderful blog site! I love reading things like that. And the aga on the front page just makes me want to sit in front of it, especially on a miserable day like it is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
