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.

Recipe is created forTM 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. -

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!

So quick with the Cutter! Cucumber and onions took less than 30 seconds.
I forgot to rinse after marinating and still delicious.
Have sucked into my Cookidoo for safe keeping

Very yum recipe. I skipped the dill and cayenne and onions and added half tsp celery salt. Nice and crunchy and not too sweet.
thanks for a great recipe!
how long do they last in the pantry, and also how long do they last in the fridge once opened? thankyou ☺️
Our whole family loves this recipe! Thanks for posting.
Great recipe. This tastes like bread and butter cucumbers. I had 850g of pickling cucumbers and it made 5 jars.
