Here is step two of the pickle-making process… (step one here)
The lovely little chilis were from the vegetable collection, they look like tiny aubergines!
Unfortunately the chilis and peppercorns and assorted spices float in the pickle brine, so only the first jar got them, which is a shame because they’re really pretty. Maybe next time I’ll distribute the first scoops of brine between the jars.
I still haven’t opened them to try any, I can’t decide how long to leave it… part of me wants to eat them now, but the rest of me prefers old pickles to new pickles.
I might be getting more cucumbers, so I should probably try the first batch before I make the second. This preserving lark is more complicated than I thought!
