Cook Time:
5 minutes
Servings:
2 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cups water
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, coarsely ground
  • 2 English cucumbers, unpeeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt 
Directions
  1. Boil the vinegar, sugar, water and caraway seeds in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Allow the pickling liquid to cool to room temperature before straining though a fine sieve.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, toss the cucumbers with the salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Using your hands, squeeze the cucumbers to release any excess liquid. Transfer the cucumbers to the pickling liquid and stir. Chill the cucumbers for at least 2 hours before serving.
