Cornichons are harvested while they are still small, typically measuring about 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.5 cm) in length. They are then pickled in a solution of vinegar, water, salt, and various herbs and spices. The cucumbers are preserved in vinegar, which gives them their characteristic tangy flavor. Cornichons in vinegar have a crisp texture and a tangy, slightly sour taste due to the pickling process. They may also have a hint of sweetness, depending on the specific brine and seasoning used. The vinegar used in pickling adds acidity and helps preserve the cornichons, giving them a distinctive zing. Cornichons in vinegar are commonly served as a condiment or accompaniment to various dishes. They pair well with charcuterie, cheese platters, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. Cornichons in vinegar are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy addition to meals and snacks. However, they may be high in sodium due to the pickling process, so it's essential to consume them in moderation, especially for individuals watching their sodium intake.
