  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sweat Cucumbers: Thinly crinkle-cut cucumbers with a mandoline. Add cucumbers to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Cover and chill to sweat for 1 1/2 hours. 
  2. Rinse Cucumbers: Drain cucumbers into a colander and shake off excess liquid before returning to the bowl.
  3. Create Pickling Liquid: Add sugars, vinegars, mustard seed, and turmeric to a medium saucepan and heat over medium to bring to a simmer. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour hot vinegar mixture over cucumber mixture; let stand at room temperature 1 hour. 
  4. Jar: Add cucumbers to large mason jars and then fill them with the pickling liquid.
  5. Chill: Seal with lids and refrigerate the jars for 24 hours. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
