Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by thoroughly washing your Kirby or pickling cucumbers. Slice them uniformly into thin rounds, around 1/8-inch thick.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine equal parts vinegar and water, adding sugar and chosen spices. Heat until it simmers and sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove brine from heat and let it cool slightly. In a clean container, layer cucumbers and onions, then pour hot brine over them.
  4. Let it sit until cool, about 20-30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 24 hours before tasting.
