Ingredients
- 6 medium (about 5-6 inches each) Cucumbers
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 2.5 cups White distilled vinegar
- 2 cups Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 1 tablespoon Ground mustard powder
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Peel and thinly slice the onion into rings.
Step 2
Place the cucumber slices and onion rings into a large bowl. Sprinkle the kosher salt over them, toss to evenly coat, and let sit for 1 hour to draw out excess moisture.
Step 3
After 1 hour, drain the cucumbers and onions in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt. Drain well and set aside.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, mustard seeds, ground turmeric, celery seeds, and ground mustard powder. Stir the mixture and bring it to a boil over medium heat, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the drained cucumbers and onions to the saucepan, stirring gently to ensure they are fully submerged in the pickling liquid.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Transfer the pickles and the brine into sterilized jars or airtight containers.
Step 7
Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. The pickles will continue to develop in flavor over the next few days.
Step 8
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy as a condiment, side dish, or topping for sandwiches and burgers!
