Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon Rose
This beautiful rose wine is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, fruit driven, refreshing with abundance of berry flavours and a pleasant long finish.
Description
This is a dish my father made and it reminds me of my childhood. This needs a lot of guess work and some scrounging but it is worth it!

Wash cucumbers and pack into a jar with a lid.
Add bayleaves, garlic and peppercorns.
Make up pickle (water, vinegar, salt and saltpetre.
Pour pickle over cucumbers and if it is too much, throw the rest away.
Leave outside fridge for 2 or 3 days then put in fridge and use after about 1 week.
Chef's Tips
It is illegal to BUY saltpetre so scrounge some from a butcher or delicatessen.
Your Pickled Cucumbers will keep in fridge for about 3 weeks.
