Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (sliced) Cucumbers (small pickling cucumbers recommended)
- 1.5 cups White granulated sugar
- 1 cup Distilled white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 2 sprigs Fresh dill (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and thinly sliced onion.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix together the sugar, white vinegar, kosher salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Pour the vinegar-sugar mixture over the cucumber and onion slices, tossing gently to coat all pieces evenly.
If desired, add fresh dill sprigs to the mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
Transfer the pickle mixture into clean glass jars or airtight containers, ensuring the cucumbers are submerged in the liquid.
Seal the jars or containers and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop. The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy your sweet pickles straight from the jar, or use them as a topping or side for your favorite dishes!
