Quick Pickled Cucumbers
I do love a pickled cucumber but the shop bought versions tend to contain extra sugars that I just don’t really want in my life!
These super fast babies can be made with regular salad cucumbers or short pickling cucumbers, these will take a little longer for the flavours to permeate the skin though.

Place the water, salt and vinegar in a pan, bring to a boil then turn down and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile sterilise your jar(s) with boiling water (or pop them through the dishwasher) then chop your cucumber into lengths that will fit in snugly. Slice the garlic cloves into thirds and drop into the bottom with the bay leaves.
