Classic Sweet Gherkins with a twist!
Menu Group: Food
Section: Preserved Foods
Category: Pickles
.
Vendor: Whitehill Farm
.
Sweet and crunchy, made of West Indian Gherkin cucumbers! We call these cucumbers the "hedgehog" cukes! They are rock hard and spiny, not at all appetizing raw. BUT the recipe is a multi-day sugar cure followed by pickling, and the process penetrates and softens the cukes. The result is a crunchy sweet and tangy pickle that is surprisingly delectable!
