I took 5 cucumbers (yes, I know there are only 3 in this picture lol)
and sliced them up. (Note: I am forgot to take pictures of the next few steps) Then I sprinkled them with Pickling Salt, covered them with ice and put it into my fridge for 4 hours. Rinse them in cool water and add a cup of thinly sliced onions. Toss.
Next, I took all my dry ingredients and put them into a pot
and covered them with the liquid. Brought this mixture up to a boil stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Add the cucumbers and onion, return to just a boil and then turn off the fire.
Fill your sterilized jars with the cucumber & onions, then pour the brine in and give them a water bath for 10 minutes.
Let the pickles sit for 24 hours and then dig in! You will thank me when your done....I promise.
