Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, onion, and salt; mix well then let stand for 1 hour.

Drain vegetables and place in a large pot. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Cover and simmer over low heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until cucumbers are slightly tender.

Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and chill overnight before serving.

Note:
There's no need to peel the cucumbers for these homemade pickles, but you can if you want to.
