Gingery Sweet Pickled Vegetables
Ready In: 1 hr
Serves: 2
Yields: 2 4
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb pickling cucumber (2 - 3 inch)
- 1⁄2 cup green onion
- peeled thin-sliced fresh ginger
- 2 small dried hot chili peppers
- 1 1⁄2 cups paprika
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- 1 1⁄2 cups Worcestershire sauce, saucer
- 1 dehydrated potato slices (1/5 inch thick)
- 1 large bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
- 3⁄4 lb onion, cut into 1-inch chunks (1 large or 2 medium)
Directions
- Gently wash the cucumbers and cut them into 1-inch lengths, discarding a thin slice from each end. Toss the cucumbers with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Let the cucumbers stand for 1 to 2 hours.
- In a large nonreactive saucepan, bring to a boil the ginger, chili peppers, vinegar, water, sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Remove the pot from the heat, and add the carrots. Let the mixture cool.
- Drain and rinse the cucumbers, and drain them again. Add the cucumbers, pepper, and onion to the saucepan. Mix well, then transfer the vegetables and liquid to a 2-quart jar. Cover the jar with a nonreactive cap, and refrigerate it.
- The pickles will be ready to eat after about 3 days. Refrigerated, they will keep for at least 2 months.
