Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 kg cucumber
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup vinegar,
• 2 -3 teaspoons coriander seeds
• 4 -5 garlic cloves, large
• 200 g salt

Recipe

• 1 place the water, vinegar, sliced garlic and coriander seeds into a small saucepan and bring to the boil, simmer for 10 minutes and leave to cool.
• 2 slice the cucumbers to about 1/3rd inches thick (i used a slicer to make sure they were all the same thickness) place in a plastic bowl and sprinkle the salt in layers over the cucumber.
• 3 cover and leave for at least 4 hours stirring every so often - this dehydrates the slices (and forces the water out of the cucumber)) this is d one so that the vinegar will penetrate easily.
• 4 rinse the cucumber 3 times, changing the water completely every time. leave to drain and dry off.
• 5 pack into sterile glass jars carefully and pour in the liquid, spooning in the garlic and coriander seeds. seal and leave in a cupboard for one to two weeks. serve and enjoy.
