Can you cut cucumbers in rounds?
Kin007 February 09, 2019
do rinse the cucumbers after they have soaked for 12 hours in salted water?
francesm April 20, 2018
Do you slice the cucumbers as in the picture here or in rounds?

My cucumbers are just coming to an enc here in northland at the end of May! Thankyou warm weather! I just made my first ever pickle with the easy recipe, I could barely wait until it had cooled to try it and wow beautiful, sweet and crisp! Went lovely on a left over corned beef and cheese sandwich. Thankyou!

Hi Suzanne, You can use normal jars, just make sure they are sterilized properly. To read more on sterilizing, go to the tips and tricks section on the website here. Happy cooking!

Hi, I'm keen to make this, but a bit mystified about the plastic lids. Why plastic lids? Won't they be unable to seal properly? Is it ok to use normal jars instead?
