Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces cucumbers (medium-sized, firm and fresh)
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 pieces cinnamon sticks
- 6 pieces cloves (optional)
- 2 drops red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice off the ends and cut the cucumbers into 1/2-inch-thick rings. Use a small round cutter or spoon to remove the seeds in the center of each ring, creating a donut-like shape.
In a large bowl, dissolve the kosher salt in the water to make a brine. Submerge the cucumber rings in the brine and let them soak for 2-3 hours. After soaking, drain the cucumbers and rinse them well with cold water.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, ground cinnamon, and food coloring (if using). Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Add the cinnamon sticks and cloves (if using) to the saucepan. Simmer the mixture for an additional 5 minutes to infuse the spices.
Place the prepared cucumber rings into sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top. Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the cucumbers, ensuring the rings are fully submerged and the spices are distributed evenly among the jars.
Seal the jars with sterilized lids and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the jars for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
Serve the cinnamon pickled cucumber rings chilled as a snack, salad topping, or alongside cheese and crackers. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
