Ingredients

• 4 large cucumbers
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 1 medium white onion
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon celery seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and trim off the ends. Dice the cucumbers into very small, even pieces or pulse them in a food processor until finely chopped, but not pureed.

Step 2

Place the chopped cucumbers in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss to combine and let sit for 1 hour to draw out moisture.

Step 3

While the cucumbers are resting, finely chop the white onion and fresh dill. Set aside.

Step 4

After 1 hour, drain the cucumbers in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt. Press gently to remove any remaining water.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, combine white vinegar, granulated sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Step 6

Add the drained cucumbers, chopped onion, and fresh dill into the saucepan with the vinegar mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the relish for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Transfer the cooled dill cucumber relish into sterilized jars or airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 10

Serve as a condiment on burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, or with grilled meats for a burst of refreshing flavor.
