Quick Pickles
Ingredients
- 3 small Cucumber
- 1 tablespoon Clover Honey
- 0.75 cup Distilled White Vinegar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Dill - dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Brown Mustard Seeds
Instructions
- Chop cucumbers into inch sized pieces, and place in large Mason jar or a medium sized heat friendly bowl.
- Heat a small sauce pan on high with honey, vinegar, water, dill, and mustard seeds. Once slightly simmering, pour over the cucumbers, and let sit in the fridge for 2-12 hours.
Notes
We recommend using local, clover flower honey. Distilled white vinegar can be substituted with apple cider vinegar.
Honey contains fructose. Northern latitude honey (clover, raspberry, alfalfa) contain a closer ratio of fructose to glucose than tropical honey (like the honey that Monash University tested and noted as a high fodmap food). Since northern latitude honey contains a closer ratio of fructose to glucose, this improves fructose absorption and we find that many people with fructose intolerance can enjoy a small amount of northern latitude honey. Please try this and see how you do (easy enough to test out in tea, like Rooibos tea).
Guest Guru Patsy Catsos recommends to her patients and readers, to not include honey. If you were referred to GutRxGurus by Patsy, please omit honey from this recipe. We're happy to make a suitable substitution suggestion. Feel free to post a question in the forum!
