Equipment

  • 1 quart-sized mason jars with lids
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cucumbers, sliced About 4 medium cucumbers
  • 1 cup onions, thinly sliced About 1 medium onion
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your cucumbers and onions by slicing them thinly using a knife on a cutting board.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and onions, add the salt, and toss lightly to ensure even coating. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  • After 30 minutes, drain the cucumbers and onions and set them aside.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture comes to a simmer.
  • Add the drained cucumbers and onions to the saucepan, stirring to coat them well in the vinegar mixture.
  • Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pickles cool slightly.
  • Once cooled, pack the pickles and liquid into sterilized mason jars, leaving about ½ inch of headspace. Seal tightly with lids.
  • Let the jars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate them for at least 24 hours before enjoying, though they taste best after a few days.

Notes

The pickles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
Feel free to adjust the sugar and spices to your taste preference for a sweeter or spicier flavor.
If you want to make larger batches, simply double or triple the ingredients while maintaining the same ratios.
