These kosher pickles are infused with the unique flavour of saffron. A simple brine of white wine vinegar, dry white wine, sugar and salt is heated and poured over sliced cucumbers. After chilling overnight, the pickles are ready to enjoy and will keep well for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. The entire preparation time is only 15 minutes, making it a wonderfully quick preserve.
