Spicy Pickles

Not overly spicy! These take 24 hours in the fridge to properly pickle and keep up to 30 days.

Serves one pickle lover

YOU WILL NEED

10-12 dill sprigs, rinsed and trimmed

METHOD

Combine vinegars, sugar and salt and place in sun to heat until sugar and salt dissolve.

Add coriander seeds to vinegar and stir

Pour vinegar over veg until covers completely

Cover and refrigerate 24 hours.
