Steps:
- Halve cucumber lengthwise, then slice crosswise 3/4 inch thick.
- Bring vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to a boil in a saucepan, then cool to room temperature.
- Combine cucumber, radish, and vinegar in a bowl and chill, covered, until cold.
- Drain vegetables before serving.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and firm vegetables for pickling. Cucumbers and radishes that are slightly immature will have the best texture and flavor.
- Wash the vegetables thoroughly before pickling to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the vegetables evenly. This will help them pickle evenly.
- Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the pickle. Common pickling spices include mustard seeds, dill, garlic, and red pepper flakes. You can also add fresh herbs, such as dill or basil, for extra flavor.
- Use a vinegar solution that is strong enough to preserve the vegetables, but not so strong that it overpowers the flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water.
- Pack the vegetables tightly into a jar or container. This will help to keep them submerged in the vinegar solution.
- Seal the jar or container tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. The pickles will be ready to eat in a few weeks.
Conclusion:
Pickled cucumbers and radishes are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are also a great way to use up extra vegetables from your garden. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy pickled cucumbers and radishes all year long.
