I made Rhonda's Bread and Butter Cucumber Pickles today...
Here is the link to Rhona's recipe, I followed it to a tee.

My mandolin made short work of the five large lebanese cucumbers, a green capsicum and two onions, honestly probably less than 5 minutes to do the lot.
All mixed up, ready for the salt...

Quite a lot of water will come out of the veg mix...
They shrink down quite a bit...
This is the pickling mix...
In go the rinsed veg, into the hot pickle mix...
Ready after just 2 minutes of simmering in the liquid.
I bottled 5 good sized jars, sealed with cello then when cooled, I screw on a lid.
After about 2 weeks they are ready for eating. I like then on top of cheddar cheese and crackers!
Give them a try!

I have saved Rhonda's recipe for these pickles to give it a go one day. Where did you purchase your mandolin from? Your pickles look good.

Anne, I think most good homewares shops would have them in varying sizes. It is quite lethal so watch your fingers! Mine does have a grip that you can attach the veg to while slicing. The pickles are great and very easy to make, give then a go.
