Easy and Colorful Yellow Cucumber and Onion Pickles
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
From middle school to high school, I would often visit a Protestant church.
I recently recalled how the pastor of the church would always serve these pickles during meals, and taught me how to make them.
While they are on the sweet side, they taste almost exactly as I remembered.
Try it during the summer when you need a way to consume your stock of cucumbers.
If you drain the cucumbers after brining, use less seasonings overall.
This recipe makes a sweet pickle, so adjust to taste.
You could also use powdered white pepper, but in that case, reduce it to about 1 teaspoon.
They will last in the refrigerator for up to a week. Recipe by Jikana

- 1
Thoroughly rinse the cucumbers and ginger. Chop the top and bottom of the onion, and remove the outer skin.
- 2
Evenly peel the skin of the cucumbers lengthwise to make a striped pattern, then slice into 1-2 cm thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt to soften.
- 3
After cutting the onion along the grain, cut across the grain (into desired sizes).
- 4
Julienne the ginger without peeling the skin (or peel, for those who prefer to do so).
- 5
Combine the ☆ ingredients in a pot coated in enamel or other non-reactive finish, and once it is warm, add the ginger.
- 6
Add the cucumber slices and onions and boil for about 15 minutes. If watery, set aside for about 1 hour, then boil again to reduce the liquid.
- 7
Transfer to a resealable plastic container, and store in the refrigerator overnight, then they're done.
- 8
They should keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you want to store them longer, thoroughly remove the moisture by brining before pickling.
- 9
The white peppercorns serve as a key accent to the pickles, but black peppercorns would also work.
- 10
Tumeric is very health supporting ♫ If you don't have any, you could substitute with curry powder for coloring.
- 11
I use fresh ginger, but you could also use powdered ginger. Tumeric is good for the liver, while ginger is good for the digestive system. They're both great for fighting summer fatigue.

Sweet & Tangy Homemade Cucumber Pickles
This was my first time making homemade pickles, as we grew a decent amount of cucumbers this year in our backyard garden! I looked through alot of recipes before I decided what I wanted to do and this is a combination of a few different recipes. Depending on what size jars you have, what size and how many pickles, and how flavorful you want them you may need to adjust the amounts accordingly. You can also reuse your brine for more pickling! 👏#onerecipeonetree #mycookbook #pickles #diy #sweetpickles #pickledcucumbers #pickledtomatoes

The cucumber dish served at a certain chain restaurant was delicious, so I tried to recreate it at home.Adjust the amount of salt to taste. It should be on the salty side if serving as pickles, and less salty if serving as a drinking appetizer. Be sure to taste and adjust the seasoning. The kombu tea is optional, but I highly suggest it. For 2 servings. Recipe by smooth

I wanted to make some easy pickles from a cucumber that I could put on hamburgers. Since you can make it with a microwave and it takes only a little bit of seasoning, take note of this recipe.Please be careful, since it can boil over!

Please apply the wrap tightly like a lid, to seal out as much air as possible over the cucumber. Recipe by Macchii shokudou

California Farm Pickle Miniature Cucumbers
Armenian and persian cucumbers grow well here in our hot desert climate, and we pick them in June, when still small, before they produce a lot of seeds. Skin on, pickled fresh with a solution of boiled wine, vinegar, sugar, water and spices. They hold their delicious, crunchy, sweet-sour-spicy-fresh taste all year, fresh or sterilized.To maintain their tender taste, we do not add the pickling spices we normally use to pickle fully grown English and Californian cucumbers.If not eaten after a week in the fridge, we sterilize the leftover pickles in their mason jar in a waterbath, 15 minutes and keep them in the pantry.#GlobalApron

Avocado Pickles
First time I heard of these, I was like, no way. So I made a batch, I've been hooked ever since. Simple to make, pretty quick, what's not to like. These are good, straight up, on a sandwich, in a salad, even on top of eggs. The best part, go ahead, get those hard avocados in the store, that's what you want for this. If you think it has to sit out for a couple days to ripen, that's the perfect texture for this.
Easy Pickles with Sushi Vinegar
My aunt taught me how to make these pickles. I simplified the recipe using sushi vinegar.I don't have any hints, but in Step 2 don't let the vinegar flavor dissipate by letting it boil for too long. But you should let it come to a boil once since the liquid contains water. For an easy to make amount. Recipe by Chobikoro
Taiwanese-Style "Kyuchan" Cucumber Pickles
A long time ago, I bought a jar of pickled cucumbers in Taiwan and used them in many dishes, but since they are hard to find in Japan, I decided to make my own!After a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with this recipe!It tastes exactly like the real thing.-Remove the cucumbers from the sauce as soon as it comes to a boil. If they simmer too long, the texture will change, so be careful!-These will last for about a month, so I recommend making a large batch! For 1 jarful. Recipe by Mizorecchifan

Bread & Butter Pickles
I have cucumbers coming out of my garden faster than I can eat them! Here's how I enjoy them all year and get a jump start on what's going in the Christmas baskets this year. The Thyme and Allspice are unconventional ingredients that add a unique taste. This recipe makes 9 pints but you can definitely adjust the ratios for smaller quantities. The longer they sit, the better they taste. Plan to fix ahead of time (like a week or two ahead) and store in the fridge until you are ready to serve. I make huge batches and then when the picnic/cookout invites come, I'm ready.

My granddaughters love the pickled cucumbers that I make. So I have to keep the supplies going year round. These here have raisins now, they should plump back up with a bit of sweet tangy flavor.
