Does anyone know where I can buy sour gherkins ( I live in the UK) in
jars.
I'm buying these for my brother who lives in Germany and he can only
get his hands on the conventional 'sweet' gherkins. However, he swears
that when he lived in the UK a few years ago that it was possible to
buy them. I've searched hi and low but no luck!! Can anyone help?
Many thanks

No sorry ........BUT ...... bur size of pickle you want , open , pour off
half of liquer from jar heat up enough vinegar to replace add spice /chili
if wanted . refill jar/s mix contents let cool slightly then replace lid
tightly and put to one side somewhere cool and dark for a couple of weeks
pref. Eat at liesure if not sour enough increase vinegar.
enjoy
merry xmas

Have you tried Selfridge's food hall, or Harrod's or Partridge's?
Try looking for French cornichons, which are not all that sweet.

cornichons are expensive, but it's a great pickle.
