Servings 4 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Kirby or pickling cucumbers
  • 3 large sweet onions thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup Diamond Kosher salt the brand does matter here, other Kosher salts will be way too salty
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups white vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 3 Tablespoons mustard seeds I used both yellow and brown
  • 3 Tablespoons coriander seeds
  • 3/4 teaspoon celery seed

Instructions
 

  • An up close shot of the gorgeous spices. Starting at 12 o’clock, yellow mustard seeds, brown mustard seeds, yellow mustard seeds, turmeric, coriander seeds, and celery seeds. I had a lot of leftover mustard seed from when I made my own mustard, hence the variety.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, onion, and salt. Mix well.
  • Cover with ice and let sit at room temperature for two hours.
  • In a large pot, bring the sugar, vinegar and spices to a boil.
  • Drain the cucumber mixture and add to the vinegar mixture and bring almost to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks in the fridge. They will start to get that glorious pickled flavor after a few hours. See? I told you it was easy.
