Great as a snack, on a salad, in a sandwich or as a side/condiment. Use a melon baller or the tip of a teaspoon to scrape out the seedy middle of the cucumber.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON TEA QUICK PICKLED CUCUMBER AND ONION



Sunday Afternoon Tea Quick Pickled Cucumber and Onion image

This should be called Mum's quick pickled cucumber and onion, as this is what she made EVERY Sunday afternoon for tea-time! We always had this alongside fresh bread and butter, boiled eggs, cold cuts of meat, fruit cake, scones, sometimes a tin of red salmon and always a pot of tea! Wonderful memories, and an easy and tasty pickle for tea-time food. This is also wonderful with picnic food, smoked salmon or an assorted cheese board.
