Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of salt to one cup of water and heat just until the salt has dissolved. Submerge the tiny cucumbers, placing a heavy object on top so they remain in the water if needed. Let them soak overnight.
- Add the peppercorns and pickling spice to a pint size mason jar.
- Drain the cucumbers and pack them into the canning jars.
- In a small saucepan add the tablespoon of canning salt to a cup of vinegar and bring to a boil.
- Pour the brine over the pickles, leaving 1/2 inch headspace at the top of the jar. Add the lid and ring and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Gherkins are best left to sit for 2 weeks before eating.
- For Canning: process in a hot water bath canner for 10 minutes.
