PREP TIME
20 MIN.
INGREDIENTS
- 15 small pickling gherkins (alternatively cucumbers)
- 200 ml elderflower syrup
- 300 ml bianco balsamic vinegar
- 300 ml water
- 3 sterilised jars (approx. 300 ml each)
- 12 juniper berries
- 12 pink berries
- 3 bay leaves
Preparation
- Weigh and measure all the ingredients, prepare them and place them ready.
- Wash the pickling gherkins and cut into 5 mm slices. Alternatively, peel cucumbers, halve them lengthwise, scratch out the seeds and cut the halves into 5 mm slices.
- Equally distribute the sliced gherkins to the jars. Add the syrup, water, vinegar and spices to the kettle and bring to the boil at 100 °C.
- Pour the liquid, with the spices, into the jars up to the brim. Close the lids, immediately turn upside down and allow to stand on their lids for around 5 minutes.
- Allow to steep for at least 3 days before eating.
Tip
Sterilise the jars in the kettle beforehand. Do so by placing each jar and its lid in the kettle and bringing to the boil at 100°C. Remove and allow to drip dry.
Info
With the FRESH & SAVE vacuum system even opened spices stay fresh for longer.
