Pickled "cornichons"





Yesterday, we bought three pounds of cornichons at the local farmer's market. We brushed them one by one, and left them overnight with sea salt from Guerande. This morning, they had sweetened some of their water. We left them, several hours in the strainer, then dried them out.
We heated white vinegar with a glass of white wine. We put the dried cornichons in a flask, with small white onions, tarragon leaves from the garden, peppercorns, coriander seeds, and poured the hot vinegar-wine on them. We closed the flasks tightly. They'll be ready in one month!
