INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🥒 2 pounds pickling cucumbers, sliced
    • 🧅 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
    • 2 red jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced into rings

  • Spices and Seasonings

    • 🧂 3 tablespoons kosher salt
    • 1 tablespoon mustard seed
    • 🌿 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
    • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

  • Liquids and Sweeteners

    • 2 cups distilled white vinegar
    • 🍬 2 cups white sugar
    • 💧 1/4 cup water
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, sliced

STEPS

1

Combine cucumbers, onion, and peppers in a bowl; pour kosher salt over the top and stir to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 hours. Rinse cucumber mixture in a colander under cold water until all salt is washed away, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.

2

Stir vinegar, sugar, water, garlic, mustard seed, celery seed, peppercorns, turmeric, and ground cloves together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer and cook until brine flavors combine, about 2 minutes. Add cucumber mixture to brine; heat until almost boiling, remove from heat, and cool completely.

3

Transfer cooled mixture to jars and store in the refrigerator.
