Equipment
- Mandolin - This is optional but encouraged
- 32oz Mason Jar with a lid
Ingredients
- 1 lb Mini Cucumbers
- 1/4 to 1/2 White Onion
- 1 cup Gentle Sweet you can sub in Truvia as well but Gentle Sweet gives the best flavor
- 1 cup White Vinegar
- ½ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3 Diced Garlic Cloves
- 1 ½ tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1 tsp Celery Seeds
- ¼ tsp Tumeric
- 1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 tsp Diced Canned Jalapeños
- 1 dash Cayenne
Instructions
- Wash the cucumbers and slice both ends off of each one.
- Using the mandolin cut the cucumbers into ¼ inch slices. I used the 7mm plate to cut the cucumbers. Slice the onions using the 3mm plate. If you are using a knife just slice them very thin, almost shaved.
- Layer the cucumbers and the onions in the mason jar and set aside.
- Combine all the other ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until all of the Gentle Sweet is dissolved.
- Pour the pickling liquid over the cucumbers and onions in the jar. Place the lid on tightly and shake the jar to distribute the spices evenly through the liquid.
- Remove the lid and allow the jar to sit on the counter to 1-2 hours.
- Store in the refrigerator for 4-5 weeks in the mason jar or other airtight container.
