Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup White onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Granulated stevia or erythritol (sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric (ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black peppercorns
Instructions
Place the thinly sliced cucumbers and onions into a large microwave-safe bowl.
Sprinkle the salt over the cucumbers and onions, tossing to coat evenly. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Then, rinse thoroughly with cold water and drain well.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, granulated stevia or erythritol, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, and black peppercorns. Stir until the sweetener dissolves.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the drained cucumbers and onions in the large microwave-safe bowl.
Cover the bowl loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid to allow steam to escape.
Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, stopping halfway through to stir the mixture. The pickles should be heated through and slightly softened at the end of cooking.
Remove the pickles from the microwave and let them cool to room temperature, then transfer to a glass jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to develop. These pickles keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
