Pickled Pears with Yuzu Juice

35m

A very elegant and flavorful pickle made with few ingredients, created to enjoy the pear season and honor nature. The pickled pears are easy to make and go really well with fresh sashimi, or as substitute for the regular cucumber pickle to bring some sweetness.

You can leave it in the brine for 20 minutes or overnight for an even more intense flavor. And if you can not find yuzu, it can be substituted with lemon juice.

This recipe was created to enjoy the pear season and as a way to honor nature and all of its freshness.
