step by step
Method
- Step 1
Prepare the cucamelons
- Rinse the cucamelons and remove the stems.
- Pack them into clean jars, leaving a little headspace.
- Step 2
Add the grape leaves
- Place a grape leaf on top of the cucamelons in each jar to keep them crisp and submerged in the brine.
- Step 3
Make the brine
- Combine the apple cider vinegar, white distilled vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve.
- Step 4
Pour and seal
- Pour the hot brine over the cucamelons, covering them completely.
- Seal the jars and let them cool, then refrigerate.
- Step 5
Let the pickles cure
- Refrigerate for at least a few days before eating so the flavors develop.
