Equipment

  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs large cucumbers sliced, I used 8 medium pickling cucumbers
  • 1 large sweet onion sliced
  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red chili flakes optional, if you like a little heat
  • 1 bunch dill stems removed, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add the white vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper, and chili flakes and dill (if using). Stir until the brine has dissolved.
  • Add the sliced cucumbers and onions to the brine. It's okay if the cucumbers aren't completely covered, they will release water after soaking in the brine for a few hours.
  • Cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. Stir, and enjoy your pickles.
  • Pickles will last in an airtight bowl or jar for up to 2 weeks.  Note: this is not a long term canning recipe, it's a quick pickle recipe that only lasts for up to 1 week when refrigerated.
