Yield Yield: 1 quart cornichons

Number Of Ingredients 9

About 1 generous pound of cornichons (tiny, finger-sized cucumbers)
2 scant tablespoons coarse salt
1 leafy sprig fresh tarragon
1 clove garlic, cut lengthwise in quarters
1/2 cup very small pearl onions, peeled
10 peppercorns
2 to 3 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
3 cups white vinegar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl toss the cornichons with the salt. Turn them out into a tea towel, gather the towel by the four corners and hang it from the faucet over the sink, for 2 hours. Alternatively, set the cornichons in their towel in a strainer in the sink.
  • Place the tarragon in a quart jar, then evenly layer the cornichons with the garlic, onions, and the other herbs, until they reach about 1/2-inch below the top of the jar. Bring the vinegar to a boil and pour it over the ingredients in the jar, making sure to cover them, and leaving about 1/2-inch headroom in the jar. Seal the jar, and place it in a cool, dark spot for three weeks, before opening.

I used white wine vinegar instead of red wine vinegar and they turned out great! I also added a few cloves of garlic and some dill seeds.
