Yield Makes 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound 2- to 3-inch pickling cucumbers
1 teaspoon pickling salt
1/2 cup peeled, thin-sliced fresh ginger
2 small dried chile peppers
1 1/2 cups rice vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups diagonal carrot slices (1/2 inch thick)
1 large bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
3/4 pounds onions (1 large or 2 medium), cut into 1-inch chunks

Steps:

  • 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, chile 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.
