Easy and Colorful Yellow Cucumber and Onion Pickles
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.

But if you cannot find it, use a mixture of 5 grains of black pepper corn, 1 red chili pepper, and 1 bay leaf.※ You can eat it on the first day, but it's best after 3 days. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 -
Sweet & Tangy Homemade Cucumber Pickles 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 -

Easy Microwave-Made Cucumber Pickles Easy Microwave-Made Cucumber Pickles
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 mix well and heat in the microwave until the cucumber's color changes to how it looks in the picture. Please apply the wrap tightly like a lid, to seal out as much air as possible over the cucumber. Recipe by Macchii shokudou -
