Time 4h

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 English cucumber, thinly sliced (preferably on a mandoline; about 4 cups)
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup white-wine vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 bay leaf
2 allspice berries

Steps:

  • Place cucumbers in a colander. Toss with salt, and let stand 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine water, vinegar, sugar, bay leaf, and allspice berries in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and let cool.
  • Rinse salt off cucumbers, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible with your hands. Transfer cucumbers to a nonreactive container with a tight-fitting lid, and pour pickling liquid over them. Cover, and refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
