65p for a jar of gherkins; 670g net weight, 360g drained weight.
One of the earlier products that was highly recommended was the jarred cornichons from Lidl. I used to eat Opies Cornichons and Onions the USP being the little drainage system and they taste good! I slowly weaned myself onto Lidl's cornichons and then their plain gherkins.
I like the look of the pickle marinade. You can see the dill, mustard seeds and diced red peppers. They're imported from Germany and taste very good! I like them sliced in sandwiches and salads or diced when mixed with tuna as a sandwich spread. Sometimes, I eat them from the jar.
You can save a bit of money buying the bigger jars but I like something that fits in my fridge. Best eaten 3 days after opening but it takes me 2 weeks or so in the fridge as it's just me.
One of my store cupboard/fridge staples.
We love these! They have to be our fave gherkins!
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to put pickle OR jam in the fridge !!! The salt & vinegar preserve the pickle ... That is why it is CALLED pickle. Also sugar preserves the jam !
ReplyDeleteHands down the best pickled gherkins on the shelf anywhere!
ReplyDeleteVery good, but can't find any of the big jars. We have a brand new Lidl shop in Guildford and I thought they would have the jumbo jars - but no!
ReplyDeleteAre they gluten free
