Raw. Day 9

What a pickle.  Today I pickled some fruits and veges.  Such a super easy process - chop thinly, put in container, add vinegar and spices to your liking, close lid, marinate.  See, easy!  What you have in a short time is delicious pickled fruits and veges.  Pick and choose what you want and get ready for a taste explosion.

I chose to pickle radishes and cucumbers (even though I still think of them as a vegetable, in essence cucumbers are a fruit).  If you are fond of Asian cuisine than you more than likely have had these already.  They usually accompany Viet entrees, are Korean sides or Filipino snacks.  These radishes and cucumbers have a sweet yet tartiness to them that will make you want to re-open the container again and again.

Ready to be pickled

There are various ways to pickle, here was my sweet tart recipe:

• Like i mentioned above, cut veges thinly, place in container 
• add vinegar (white or apple cider) and then sugar (adjust to taste)
• put the lid on (tightly) and shake
• store in the fridge

Pickled wonders

These veges can last for about a week and they are ready when they taste perfect to you!

There are tonnnns of pickle recipes out there; sweet, savoury, spicy, dill...depending on what you like, there's something out there for you!  Again, pickling is very easy to do and what comes out is mouthwatering.  So go ahead, and try it out!
