INGREDIENTS PER 1 LITER JAR:

1 large cucumber
1 small onion
1 cup vinegar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/4 tsp. peppercorn
1 1/2 tsp. celery seed
1 1/2 tsp. mustard seed
salt

Slice cucumber and onion to desired thickness. Layer cucumbers, onions and salt in mixing bowl. Place a heavy weight on top of mixture to press out any liquid. Let stand for two hours.

Rinse and drain mixture. Pack one liter jar with mixture. Boil vinegar, sugar and all remaining ingredients for two minutes. Fill each jar with brine. Use a non-metallic utensil to ensure all air bubbles are released, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.

Refrigerate for 1 1/2 weeks OR can with a ten minute hot water bath. ENJOY!
