Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium cucumber
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and ground turmeric.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar and salt dissolve completely, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Place the sliced cucumbers in a clean, heat-proof glass jar or bowl.
Carefully pour the warm pickling brine over the cucumber slices, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Let the pickles cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal flavor.
Store the pickles in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
