Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Cucumber
- 1 medium-sized Onion
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds. Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and onions, granulated sugar, white vinegar, salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and ground turmeric.
Stir the mixture well to ensure all the vegetables are coated with the spices and sugar.
Place the microwave-safe bowl in the microwave and heat the mixture on high power for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring halfway through the cook time.
Once the cucumbers and onions appear translucent and the sugar has dissolved completely, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave.
Let the pickles cool to room temperature before transferring them to a clean, airtight jar or container.
Refrigerate the pickles for at least 2 hours to let the flavors develop before serving.
Serve as a condiment or snack and enjoy your homemade microwave bread butter pickles!
