EMERIL'S HOMEMADE SWEET AND SPICY PICKLES
NOTE: When selecting cucumbers for pickling, there are a few things to remember. For crisp pickles, choose ripe, pickling cucumbers, which are shorter and chunkier than regular eating cucumbers, which tend to be longer and smoother. Ripe pickling cucumbers are darker green, firm, and not "bloated." They should have plenty of spiny bumps on the outer surface. Overripe cucumbers make mushy pickles. They tend to have yellow or white streaks or spots and their surfaces are smoother. Choose pickles that have not been coated in wax, as the pickling brine cannot penetrate through the wax. The fresher the cucumbers, the crisper the pickles will be. For best results, try picking your own cucumbers from a local farm or farmers' market.

Steps:
- Place cucumbers, onions, pickling salt, and water in a large, non-reactive bowl. Cover and allow cucumbers to soak for 2 hours. Drain the water from the onions and cucumbers through a colander and rinse well for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- Combine the vinegars, sugar, mustard seeds, turmeric, cloves, garlic, and peppers in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and add the cucumbers and onions. Bring to a simmer and remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Fill each of the hot sterilized pint-size preserving jars with the pickle mixture, dividing them evenly, and enough of the liquid to come within 1/2-inch of the top. Add 1/2 teaspoon of Natural Pickle Crisp to each jar, if desired. With a clean damp towel, wipe the rim and fit with a hot lid. Screw on the metal ring just until the point of resistance is met. Process the jars in a hot-water bath for 15 minutes.
- Using tongs, remove the jars, place on a towel, and let cool. Test the seals by allowing the jars to stand at room temperature overnight or until the lids pop. Tighten the rings and store in a cool dry place. Let the pickles age for at least 2 weeks before using.

Steps:
- Sterilise the jar or jars you'll be using to store the pickles. Choose glass jars with an airtight, metal lid and ensure they have been washed by hand in hot soapy water then rinsed well. Check that the metal lids do not have rubber inserts. Preheat the oven to 130 Degrees C (270 F) and place the jars in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Wash and dry the cucumbers. Remove the top and end.Thinly slice - approximately 1/2 cm thick.
- Peel a red onion, and remove the tip and root end. Cut the onion in half, and thinly slice into half moons.
- In a large bowl, add the cucumbers, onion and salt. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge for 4 hours.
- Tip the cucumbers and onions into a colander and drain the excess liquid.
- In a non-reactive pan, place the vinegar, sugar, chilli flakes, star anise and ginger. On a medium heat, stir to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar is dissolved, simmer the liquid for 3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the cucumbers and onions to the pickling liquid, and allow them to sit in the saucepan for 5 minutes.
- Pour the pickles and liquid into your sterilised jars, and cool on your kitchen bench before refrigerating.

Steps:
- Prepare the cucumbers. After the cucumbers are washed and dried, cut them into ¼ to ½ inch rounds and place them in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle them with the salt and gently mix. Let them sit for 20 minutes. Pour the salted cucumbers into a strainer and drain and rinse them with cold water. Dry them with paper towels and place them in a new mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Prepare the vinegar and marinate. In a small sauté pan, over low heat, warm the sugar with the vinegar only until it dissolves, about 2 minutes. Pour this over the cucumbers and gently mix. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Stir them once or twice during this time.
- Make chili oil. In a small sauté pan, heat the grapeseed oil with the sesame oil and chili paste. Cook only until it's sizzling, about 2 minutes. Stir and let it cool to room temperature.
- Add the chili oil, marinate and serve. Remove the cucumbers from the refrigerator. Stir in the chili oil and return them to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and ideally overnight to continue to marinate.
