Steps:
- Toss the cucumbers in 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the salt. Arrange the cucumber on a single layer on a double-layer of clean kitchen towels. Allow the salt to draw the moisture out of the cucumbers for 90 minutes. Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the vinegar, 2 cups water, and the remaining salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Sterilize 2 1-pint jars, along with their lids and rings, and keep them hot until ready to fill with the pickling mixture.
- Divide the onions, garlic, chopped dill, peppercorns, cloves, and bay leaves between the 2 sterilized jars. Pack the cucumber into the jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace from the top of the jars. Fill the jars with the hot vinegar mixture, leaving 1/4-inch headspace form the top of the jars. Tap the jars to remove any air bubbles, cap the jars, and process them for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
- Cool the jars, and store them in a cool, dark place for at least 3 to 4 weeks before opening.
- This cornichon pickles recipe makes two 1-pint jars or 12 to 16 servings.
