Cucumber Pineapple Water Pickle

A simple and fast to prepare mixed fruits water pickle which is light and refreshing in taste. It is light in taste, as it does not have a pungent vinegar smell, only the sweet fragrance of citrus, pineapple and cucumber. Neither does it tasted too salty nor over-sweetened.

It went well with cloying foods like stir-fried radish cake and Chinese rice dumpling 😋
