Recipe by The Bon Appétit Test Kitchen We love the way these quickly pickled, supercrisp pears play off the briny and intense kimchi.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 2" piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red or green chile (such as jalapeño, serrano, or Thai), with seeds, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper powder) or crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 Asian pear, large unripe Anjou pear, or Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, cut into 1" cubes

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients except pear in a small saucepan. Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors. Remove from heat and let sit until warm.
  2. Place pear cubes in a 12-ounce jar with a tight-sealing lid. Add warm pickling liquid. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cover and chill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Keep chilled.
