Servings: 6
Calories: 225kcal
Ingredients
- 5 cups thinly sliced cucumbers - about 3 English cucumbers or 4-5 regular cucumbers peeled or not - your choice
- 1 large onion thinly sliced - I like to use sweet onions
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons canning salt - not table salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons celery seed
Instructions
- Thinly slice cucumbers and onion into a large bowl. Toss and set aside. Whisk together remaining five ingredients and add to cucumbers/onions. Toss lightly so all the cucumbers are mixed with the brine. Cover bowl and refrigerate. You can serve this right away, that's when the "pickles" taste - best but this will keep in the fridge for several weeks.
