Ingredients

  • 9 cups 1/4-inch thick cucumber slices
  • 6 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings
  • 1 tablespoon pickling spice
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
  • 3 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 teaspoons sea salt

Method

  • Divide cucumber slices among canning jars. Add 1/2 teaspoon pickling spice and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric to each jar.
  • Stir vinegar, water, sugar, and sea salt together in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve; cook at a boil for 2 minutes.
  • Carefully fill jars with brine to within 1/2 inch of the rim, covering the cucumbers completely. Discard any leftover brine.
  • Place the lids on the jars. Refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
