Ingredients

  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 carrots
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 6-8" piece daikon

Instructions

  • Put the cider vinegar, sugar & salt in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir to combine the sugar and when the sugar is completely dissolved, remove from the heat.
  • While the pickling mixture is heating up, peel the carrots and cut them into long planks - about ½ inch by ½ inch, do the same with the daikon. For the cucumber, I leave the peel on, but slice it in half, take a spoon and scoop out the seeds and then slice it into planks also. Keep the length uniform - I made all of the planks about 5 inches.
  • Add the planks to pickling liquid. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the pickles and put them into a glass jar - cover with the pickling liquid. Seal tightly and refrigerate.
  • The pickles will keep in the fridge for several weeks.
