Olive Oil Pickles
From choclytcandy 13 years agoIngredients
- About 1 1/4 lb pickling cucumbers, preferably small shopping list
- 2 small onions, sliced thin shopping list
- 4 tsp pickling salt shopping list
- 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes shopping list
- 2 tbs yellow mustard seeds (optional) shopping list
- About 1 1/2 cups white wine vinegar or cider vinegar shopping list
- 2 tbs olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- Gently wash the cucumbers, and remove the blossom ends. If the cucumbers are 2 to 3 inches long, leave them whole; if they are 4 to 5 inches long, slice them into 1/16-inch thick rounds. In a bowl, toss the cucumbers and onions with salt. Let then stand 3 to 5 hours.
- Drain the vegetables well. Layer them in a sterile 1-quart jar with the pepper flakes and , if you like, the mustard seeds. Leave at least 1-inch headspace. Cover the vegetables well with vinegar, almost to the rim, then cover the surface with the olive oil. Cover the jar with a nonreactive cap, preferably one that is all plastic. Store the jar in a cool, dry, dark place.
- The pickles will be ready to eat in about 3 weeks, and will keep well, unopened for at least 6 months. Makes 1 quart.
