Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salt kosher or canning salt

- 2 cup cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 teaspoon mustard seed
- 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric
- 4 bags black tea
- 3 pounds cucumbers about 10 cups of slices
Instructions
- Slice cucumbers, by hand or (very carefully) with mandolin
- Add cucumbers and salt to bowl. Toss to coat all cucumber slices with salt.
- Cover bowl and stand on counter, or in refrigerator overnight.
- Next morning, place in bowl and rinse salt off of cucumbers. Rinse the cucumbers well or they will be salty! Allow to drain.

- Reduce heat and high simmer or low boil, for about 30 minutes.
- Sterilize jars in canning pot.

- Pack cucumber slices into hot jars, within a 1/2 inch of top of jar.
- Pour hot canning liquid into jar leaving ½" headspace.
- Wipe rim of jar with wet towel. Attach hot lids and tighten bands finger tight. Return to canning pot.
- Process jars for 15 minutes per pint, adjusting for altitude. Allow to rest in hot water 5 minutes after turning heat off.
