    Which vinegar for pickling cucumelons?

    Hi, I've just bought some Sarsons pickling vinegar - the dark one for pickling my cucumelons. Is this the right one or do I need the white one? This is my first time pickling anything so I don't really have a clue what I'm doing. I know I have to sterilise the jars in the oven (do I do the lids in there too)? Also it says that's the vinegar already contains spices, should I add anything else, I was thinking a couple of chillis might add a kick, please can someone help me? Thank you. Sam

    Think it's probably a matter of taste Sam, for me I think it would be a bit strong. I pickled some of those also, but used a white vinegar, added the pickling spice , some water and also about teaspoon sugar. Sooked them, sliced, overnight, layered with salt, to get rid of some of the water, and keep them crisp.

      Oh yes, you must sterilise lids as well.
