SPICY PINEAPPLE PICKLE (ACAR NENAS)
This looked too interesting to pass up! It's not too pickly, with just a tablespoon of vinegar, but deliciously sweet and spicy. From a cookbook, "Nonya Favourites," which I picked up in Singapore. The book suggests serving this with rice and a coconut curry, or fried fish.

SPICY CUCUMBER PICKLES (ACAR TIMUN)
Another Singaporean pickle recipe from the "Nonya Favourites" cookbook; these are a delicious twist on dill pickles. They're spicy in the sense of being spiced; if you like more heat, add more chili powder. I have also successfully used prepared grainy mustard in place of the mustard seeds. Cook time includes "pickling time" overnight.
