Step-by-Step Method
Slice the cucumbers
Wash the cucumbers and slice them into thin rounds. Thin slices help the brine work quickly and keep the bite crisp.
Do a quick salt soak
Stir the pickling salt into the water, then pour over the cucumber slices so they’re fully submerged. Let sit 30–60 minutes, then drain and give them a quick rinse.
Simmer the brine
Add cider vinegar, sugar, turmeric, celery seed, and mustard seeds to a pot. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Pack the jars
Loosely fill clean jars with the drained cucumber slices. Carefully pour the hot brine over the top, making sure the cucumbers stay under the liquid. If needed, top up with a little water.
Cool and chill
Let the jars cool to room temperature, then close and refrigerate. For the best flavor, rest for at least 12–24 hours before serving; always use a clean utensil when scooping.
