Quick Fridge Pickles
Sharp, crunchy cucumber pickles soaked in a tangy mix of apple cider vinegar and honey with coriander and mustard seeds. Loaded with fresh dill and sliced onions, balanced by the heat of dried arbol chilies. Ready to eat in just under 3 days, these preserved cucumbers are a fridge staple—no canning involved. Sugar swapped for honey adds depth and smoothness. Pickling spice tailored with coriander and mustard seeds instead of typical blends. A practical approach to a classic, with attention to texture, timing, and flavor layering.
Mom’s Cucumber Ketchup Remix
Cucumber ketchup with diced cukes, onions, bell peppers, celery, mustard seeds, turmeric, and vinegar. Uses coarse salt to pull moisture overnight. Cook until thick, fragrant, bubbling, then jar and boil-seal. Modified with carrot in place of celery and apple cider vinegar swap. Reduced sugar and salt by 30 percent. Cook time adjusted; texture focus over timer. Yields 6 jars. A sharp, tangy, chunky ketchup alternative, great on sandwiches, dips, or grilling sauces.
