I'm happy to hear the pickles are still being enjoyed! I had a few left here and I think I need to start making them more regularly since they are so delicious and easy to make. Recipe adapted from Cucumber Salad in The Pleasure of the Vietnamese Table: 1/2 c. rice vinegar (or white vinegar) (you can used pre-seasoned sushi vinegar,just leave out the sugar and season salt to taste) 3 Tbsp sugar juice of 2 limes 1/2 + tsp. salt to taste 1 small clove garlic, crushed fresh hot peppers, seeded and julienned (amount of pepers can determine spiciness) 6 pickling cucumbers cut into spear shapes 1/2 c. shallots, thinly sliced 1/4 cup (or more) chopped cilantro Combine vinegar, sugar, salt, lime juice, garlic in a large bowl. Add rest of ingredients, toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight, tossing occasionally. The longer they brine the tastier they get. I haven't had them last longer than a week since they are so yummy, so I am not sure about their shelf life. What a nice day! I’m happy to hear the pickles are still being enjoyed!
