  2. Sprinkle with 80g of salt and drizzle with 125g water. Then toss to combine. Set aside, covered, for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, sterilise about 6 large glass jars.
  4. After 3 hours, drain and rinse cucumbers and onion using your Varoma dish, then prepare pickling liquid.

    Place dill into Thermomix mixing bowl and chop 3 Seconds, Speed 7. Scrape down and repeat if neccessary.
  5. Weigh in 400g sugar, 500g white vinegar, 1 tbsp mustard seeds, 1/4 tsp turmeric and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper.
  6. Set timer for 10 Minutes/100 degrees/Speed 1.
  7. While liquid comes to the boil, fill your sterilised jars with cucumbers and onions, packing down quite firmly, and leaving a 2cm headspace at the top of each jar.
  8. Once liquid has boiled, pour enough into each jar to cover the cucumbers and carefully put lids in place.

Tip

Pickles can be stored in the pantry, as long are jars have been properly sterilized. Otherwise, keep them in the fridge.

This recipe works just as well with zucchini.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 6 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 6
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Very yum recipe. I skipped the dill and cayenne and onions and added half tsp celery salt. Nice and crunchy and not too sweet.

    Great recipe. This tastes like bread and butter cucumbers. I had 850g of pickling cucumbers and it made 5 jars.
