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.
