Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumbers

    Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water. Slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Onion

    Peel and slice the onion into thin rings. Add the onion rings to the bowl with the cucumbers.

Brine Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Brine

    In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, turmeric, celery seeds, and black peppercorns.

  2. 4

    Heat the Brine

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Pickling

  1. 5

    Combine Vegetables and Brine

    Once the brine is boiling, pour it over the cucumbers and onions in the bowl. Ensure all vegetables are submerged.

  2. 6

    Store the Pickles

    Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then transfer it to sterilized jars. Seal the jars tightly.

  3. 7

    Refrigerate

    Refrigerate the jars for at least 24 hours before consuming to allow the flavors to meld.
