Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seed
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Peel and slice the onion into thin strips or rings.
In a medium saucepan, combine white vinegar, granulated sugar, water, Kosher salt, celery seed, and mustard seed.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a clean, large glass jar or container, layer the cucumber slices and onion slices, alternating between the two.
Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the cucumber and onion layers, ensuring that the vegetables are fully submerged.
Allow the jar to cool to room temperature before sealing with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled as a snack, side dish, or sandwich topping. These pickles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
