- 2 cucumbers

- Rinse the cucumbers and shallots off and let them drain.
- Combine the cider vinegar, water, sugar, mustard seed and turmeric in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Place the cucumbers and shallots into two pint jars. Try to pack them tightly without squishing them. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the vegetables to within 1/2" of the top of the jar.
- Tap the jars lightly on the counter or gently run a rubber spatula around the outside to dislodge air bubbles.
- Screw a lid on let the jars stand at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate. The pickles are ready to eat in 1 day and keep for about a month in the refrigerator.
