Sarah's Samut Sari aims to share new ideas, skills and how tos. Today's video features a recipe of my bestfriend Rosalee on how to make chayote pickles.

This is a wonderful gift idea for the holidays or as presents to friends and family.
Here is the recipe for the Chayote Pickles.

CHAYOTE PICKLES

Ingredients
3 pieces chayote
1 piece carrot
6 cloves garlic
½ piece red bell pepper
1 inch ginger
½ piece bitter gourd (or ampalaya)
6 pieces shallots
¼ cup rock salt (or pickling salt)
1 tsp. black peppercorns
¼ cup raisins

1 ¼ - 1 ½ cup apple cider vinegar
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp. salt

Materials Needed
Aluminum or Stainless or Glass Bowls
Decorative vegetable Cutters, if available
Strainers
Cheese cloth or other piece of cloth
Stainless steel saucepan
Sterilized Jars

Procedure

1. Wash vegetables thoroughly.
2. Cut chayote into strips using decorative vegetable cutter, if available.
3. Cut carrots into flowerettes.
4. Cut garlic, bitter gourd (optional), red bell pepper, and ginger in thin strips or slices.
5. Peel whole shallots.
6. Sprinkle pickling (or rock) salt over cut vegetables. Mix thoroughly. Cover the bowls and
place inside the refrigerator overnight or for at least 3 hours (the salt will dehyrdrate the
vegetables).
7. Place the cut vegetables in a colander or strainer and then rinse with running water.
8. Using cheesecloth (or other cloth), put the rinsed vegetables on the cloth and then
squeeze until all the liquid comes out.
9. Put the squeezed vegetables in a big bowl. Add the black peppercorns and raisins. Mix.
10.Heat a saucepan and pour in the vinegar. Bring to a boil. Add sugar and salt. Stir until the
sugar has been diluted.
11. Turn off the heat and let cool slightly.
12. Place the mixed vegetables and spices in the sterilized jars. Arrange the vegetables to
make the jars colorful. Pour in the Syrup.
13. Seal the jar and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 days to achieve the desired crunchiness
and texture of the vegetables.
14. Serve cold with fried or grilled dishes or serve as appetizers
with cold cuts. Enjoy! ! !
15. Decorate the pickling jars to make unique gifts for family and friends!
