Method
1.Cut cucumbers in half lengthways then into 6cm strips. Place in bowl, sprinkle with salt, stand overnight.
2.Next day, rinse cucumbers under cold water, drain. Combine vinegar, sugar, chillies, mustard seeds, peppercorns, dill seeds and cloves in large saucepan, bring to the boil, reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes.
3.Add cucumbers, bring to boil, remove from heat immediately. Using tongs, pack cucumbers into hot sterilised jars, fill with vinegar mixture; seal when cold.
We used lebanese cucumbers in this recipe; however, pickling cucumbers would also be ideal. Recipe unsuitable to freeze or microwave.
