Comments on: Cucumber Pickles – NQN’s Mum’s recipe http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/05/16/cucumber-pickles-nqns-mums-recipe/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Then I wonder how to do this as they are cold from being in the fridge. If you put cold jars into hot water lots of bad things can happen. I think if you let the jars warm up to room temp it should be ok to bathe them, and still not ruin the cucumbers. I did not have enough jars to bother preserving ! LOL.... I will let you know if I try it :) In reply to Jilian, these are not preserved – you are correct, they need to be boiled. Then I wonder how to do this as they are cold from being in the fridge.

Hmm I don't know if they're technically preserved. To be honest they disappear really quickly in our household! :o Hi EMT Karen-Thankyou very much and thanks for letting me know!

I ran out of dill brine and had cucumbers already cut, I was in a real pickle :) - so I needed an easy recipe. I made these ! The Sesame Oil adds a REAL nice tint of flavor ! Who woulda thought !

I really want to make them but are they preserved? My canning experience is limited to jam so far. Do you not need to cook the whole thing, cukes and jar etc, in a water bath to seal it up right?

I have some chillies and I don't know what to do with them. My mom always give me the recipe but not the exact measure of the ingredients but I just make them anyway. She always tease me, if I'm never married and leave home, I will never learn how to cook all these foods. Being away in another country and far from her, makes me craving for all those foods she cooks when I was at home. Thanks for the recipe!!! HI NQN, Oh I will make this on the weekend.
