    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!

    An absolute winning recipe! These pickled cucumbers are seriously good. My whole family loves them and I'll be making them again and again. Thanks!!

    This is absolutely dillicious!!! I constantly make these (about 2-3 times per year), especially when telgraph cucumbers are on special. You only need 3. I then add fresh chilli whole when putting them in the jar. They are a hit with a particular friend, and the longer the chilli stays in the jar, the hotter it gets-just the way he loves it!
    I do cut back on the sugar by about 1/3 and add extra tumeric as I grow it. Thank you for this great recipe.

    Loving this recipe. I’ve made it a few times since Oct 2019 and in large batches since then. My family cannot get enough of these, they are that tasty! I don’t add the dill but whole peppercorns instead. Also tested it with a reduced amount of sugar and works well.

    I did a half batch as a tester but did not include dill, added whole peppercorns instead. My family loved them!! It’s now on request as a Christmas present. Thank you for a great recipe.

    This recipe is very good. I loved it. And yes I used just 100 g of water for 1000g cucumbers

    I gave this a go, great recipe. I added some fennel that I had left over in the fridge.
    Can you confirm for me if you kept the same heat setting in step 4 as you did in step 3 please?

    Don’t waste the leftover juice from this recipe. We use it in dishes like Family Beans, Vege Sausage Rolls and Salad dressings etc.

    I ended up planting four cucumber plants as they all sprouted from seed. Really unsure what to do with them all and then came across this. Husband and I are hooked on it - so nice with cheese, on sandwhiches, burgers etc. Hubby doesn't like fresh cucumber much but said i need to plant four plants next year too ! Have made three batches so far this year.

    Great pickle recipe, next time I will reduce sugar by a third, just a bit too sweet for me

    Not sure if this should be a 1 kg of cucumbers. Amount of water won't cover cucumbers.

    Also won't fit in thermo bowl ??????




    Its only 100grams to aid in the salt drawing out the water during the marinating process, this gets emptied out afterwards

    Once the marinating process is done the cucumber mass will have reduced. If it's still too much for the bowl just do it in two batches. Hope that helps!
