I pickled some small home-grown cucumbers in spiced and sweetened vinegar, packed tightly into a lidded jar. The liquid leaked out of the jar, it had cloudy patches and it was fizzing. Are my pickles still OK? What we do know, however, is that pickled cucumbers are tricky to get right, so she should cut herself some slack. While it’s worth persevering with those homegrown cucumbers, also consider heading to your nearest east European deli come next summer.
