Let’s make pickles!

The rainy afternoon was the perfect time to try and make pickles from the cucumbers we harvested from our garden last week. To make pickles we:

1. Washed our cucumbers.
2. Ms. Allanson chopped up the cucumbers and some fresh garlic from her garden.
3. We tucked the cucumbers and garlic into 4 jars.
4. We added some fresh fennel from Ms. Allanson’s garden.
5. Then we added some spices (mustard seeds and coriander seeds)
6. Next we added just a dash of red chilli flakes to add a little pizzaz!
7. Finally, we added in the brine (a mixture of vinegar, salt, sugar and water) to help the cucumbers ferment.

We sealed up the jars and put them in the fridge. Now we will wait for a few days before we have a pickle tasting party!
