pickling cucumber
Small jarred gourd
A pickling cucumber is a variety of cucumber bred specifically for preserving in brine or vinegar.
These cucumbers are smaller, firmer, and have bumpier skin than slicing cucumbers, allowing them to stay crisp through the pickling process: The garden produced enough pickling cucumbers to fill a dozen jars.
