Market Fresh Cooking: Quick Pickled Cucumber
Ingredients:
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ cup white vinegar
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup sugar
Directions:
- Thinly slice the cucumber, carefully mix in the salt, and let it drain in a colander or sieve for about an hour. The cucumber slices will start to look as if they have been cooked.
- While the cucumbers are draining, mix together the vinegar, sugar, and water to make a pickling solution.
- Rinse any remaining salt from the cucumbers, place them in a ceramic or glass bowl or jar, and completely immerse them with the pickling solution.
- They’ll start to taste like pickles within an hour. Store them in the refrigerator.
