INGREDIENTS

• 5½ cups (1½ pounds) thinly sliced pickling cucumbers
• 1½ tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 cup thinly sliced sweet onion
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 cup white vinegar
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
• 1½ teaspoons mustard seeds
• ½ teaspoon celery seeds
• ⅛ teaspoon ground turmeric

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine the cucumbers and salt in a large, shallow bowl; cover and chill 1½ hours. Move the cucumbers into a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Drain well, and return the cucumbers to bowl. Add the onion to the bowl.
2. Combine the sugar and the remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the cucumber mixture; let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

NOTES

• Don’t cut the cucumbers too terribly thin. You want them to have a little bit of crunch to them!
• You may find that your cucumbers are already ready to sample within just a few hours of marinating in the pickling liquid (rather than waiting an entire 24 hours!)
