Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the cucumbers and red hot chili peppers.
- Thinly slice the cucumbers and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Thinly slice the red hot chili peppers, ensuring to remove and discard the seeds if you want a milder pickle.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup vinegar with 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp salt. Stir well until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the sliced cucumbers and chili peppers in the mixing bowl.
- Toss everything together until the cucumbers and chili slices are evenly coated with the pickling solution.
- Transfer the cucumber and chili mixture into a clean, airtight jar or container.
- Ensure that the vegetables are fully submerged in the pickling liquid. If needed, gently press down the cucumbers and chili slices to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Seal the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator.
- Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 1 hour. For best results, let it sit for several hours or overnight to fully develop the flavors.
- Before serving, give the pickles a quick stir.
- Serve as a side dish, condiment, or as a crunchy topping for sandwiches and salads.
- Store the quick cucumber chili pickle in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to a week, though it’s best enjoyed within the first few days for optimal crunchiness.
Tips:
- Ensure the cucumbers are fresh and firm for the best crunch.
- For a milder pickle, you can reduce the amount of red hot chili peppers or opt for milder varieties.
- Adjust the sugar and salt to taste if you prefer a sweeter or saltier pickle.
- Let the pickle sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Sterilize your jar before adding the pickle mixture to extend its shelf life.
- Feel free to experiment by adding other spices or herbs such as garlic, mustard seeds, or dill.
