These pickled pears offer a sophisticated balance of sweetness, acidity, and gentle heat. By infusing rice vinegar with aromatic ginger, peppercorns, and a hint of Korean gochugaru, you create a complex pickling liquid that transforms crisp fruit into a vibrant garnish. Using an unripe pear or a firm Granny Smith apple ensures the cubes retain a satisfying crunch while absorbing the spicy, savoury brine.
This versatile vegan condiment is a fantastic addition to a modern grazing board or tossed through a bitter leaf salad with walnuts. While they are ready to eat after a short chill, the flavours will continue to concentrate and improve if left for a day or two. It is a quick and simple way to add a bright, professional touch to your autumn and winter cooking.

Ingredients for Pickled Pears
240ml unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 2" piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
1 small red or green chilli (such as jalapeño, serrano, or Thai), with seeds, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoons 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
How to make Pickled Pears
Combine all ingredients except pear in a small saucepan. Add 120ml water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavours. Remove from heat and let sit until warm.
Place pear cubes in a 350g 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.
