Instructions
Wash cucumbers very well under water. Allow to dry. Trim and discard both ends and cut into 1/4" slices.
Cut 1/4 of a small onion into thin slices.
In a small saucepan over medium high heat, bring the vinegar, sugar, salt, pickling spice and turmeric to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for at least 5 minutes.
Layer the cucumbers and onions in two 8 oz jars and pour the hot brine over them. Screw on lids and cool before refrigerating.
For three to five days, shake each jar at least 1-2 times per day. After 3-5 days, the cucumbers are now delicious pickles and ready to enjoy!
