Ingredients
Scale
Pickling Brine
- ½ cup prepared horseradish
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp coarse sea salt
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup white vinegar
Pickle Vegetables
- ½ white onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cups sliced salad cucumbers
Instructions
- Prepare the Brine: In a large saucepan, combine the prepared horseradish, white sugar, minced garlic, coarse sea salt, water, and white vinegar. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar and salt and evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Add Vegetables: Once the brine is boiling, reduce the heat slightly and add the sliced cucumbers and thinly sliced white onion to the saucepan. Continue boiling the mixture for an additional 5 minutes to allow the cucumbers and onions to soften slightly and absorb the flavors of the brine.
- Cool and Store: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pickles cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the pickles along with the brine into airtight jars. Refrigerate the jars for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop and meld together.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm cucumbers for best texture and flavor.
- Prepared horseradish can be adjusted according to your heat preference.
- Refrigerate pickles in airtight jars to maintain freshness and extend shelf life.
- Flavors improve after at least 24 hours of refrigeration.
- These pickles should be consumed within 2-3 weeks for optimal taste and safety.
