Ingredients

  • 4 pickling cucumbers sliced
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp mustard seed

Instructions

  • Heat vinegar, sugar, and all other spices in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until just boiling.

Notes

Pickling/Kirby cucumbers are best for this because they are crisp all the way through, but of course any type of cucumber will work just fine.
