Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 ½ cups about 1 ½ pounds thinly sliced pickling cucumbers
  • 1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 cup thinly sliced sweet onion
  • ½ cup xylitol (or can substitute with granulated sugar)
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar (or can substitute with light brown sugar)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons mustard seeds
  • ½ teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric

Instruction

  • Combine sliced cucumbers and salt in a large, shallow bowl; cover and chill for 1 – 1 ½ hours. Place cucumbers in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Drain well, and return to bowl.
  • Add sliced onion to the bowl and toss with cucumbers.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together xylitol, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, coconut palm sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds and turmeric. Bring to a simmer and whisk until sugar dissolves (about 5 minutes).
