Gherkin is a sturdy and high-yielding pickling cucumber variety that produces small, aromatic fruits. Smaller fruits are perfectly suited for pickling as cocktail gherkins and bigger ones are best for pickling with mustard seed. Cucumbers are basically a kind of solid mineral water since they’re composed to 97 % of water and also contain valuable ingredients, like potassium, calcium, magnesium and vitamin C.

In the kitchen: You can expect to harvest the cucumbers regularly from the end of July. Ideally, you will be able to pluck fresh cucumbers twice a week until the end of September. Pickling gherkins by yourself is very simple: first, wash out the jars with boiling hot water for disinfection, then, clean the gherkins properly under running water, split up a bunch of dill and wash it properly with water as well, slice up an onion. Now, you bring one litre of water and half a litre of common vinegar or white wine vinegar along with two tablespoons of salt to boil. Meanwhile, you can fill up the jars with the prepared gherkins, dill and onion slices. Pour the boiling vinegar water full to the brim into the jars and seal them. Keep the jars under cool and dark conditions for at least 2 to 4 weeks to allow the gherkins to absorb the flavour of the stock.
