It's been a month since I pickled some cucumbers, and I've been impatient to try them. Today has been marked on my calendar as the first day that they should be ready to eat.
I took two of the small pots out of the cupboard, and opened the first. It smelt OK. I got a fork out and tried my first mouthful...and it was vile. The flesh was mushy like marshmallow. The skin was tough like chewing leather. The brine wasn't particularly good. I spat it in the sink.
Jar contents drained and into the food waste, har in the dishwasher, tried the second jar. That was the same.
Yuk!
I'm going to try one o fthe differently shaped jars next, but I need to wait for a bit.
Epic fail.
Need a better recipe next time.
