A gherkin is a small early cucumber that is pickled. Gherkin is derived from the Dutch word gurkkijn and pickle is from the Dutch pickel. American gherkins are between 1 - 3 inches (3 - 8 cm) in length, while American dill pickles can be twice as long.
Gherkins are often prepared in a brine of water, vinegar and sugar and can be sweet if the sugar content is fairly high. Unlike sour dill pickles, gherkins can be extremely sweet pickles. Most gherkin brines are flavored with herbs such as tarragon, rosemary and/or thyme.
