Ingredients
- ½ cup white vinegar
- ½ cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper if desired for some heat
- ½ cucumber diced
- 2 bell peppers diced – Use red, yellow, or orange, or a combo. Green is fine, but the color will be boring.
- 3 banana peppers diced
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped basil
Instructions
- Add the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt and crushed red pepper (if using) to a wide pan. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes, or until the liquids reduce by about a half.
- Add the cucumber and peppers. Stir and cook a couple of minutes. Remove from heat.
- Let sit about 30 minutes to get that quick pickling.
- Stir in the basil and serve.
- You can store this in the fridge for at least a month or longer.
