Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 English hothouse cucumber
1 Tbs kosher salt
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 bay leaf
2 allspice berries

Steps:

  • Slice cucumber as thin as possible (use a mandoline or other vegetable slicer if you have one). Put the slices into a colander, toss them with the salt, and let stand for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the water, vinegar, sugar, bay leaf, and allspice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool. Rinse the salt off the cucumbers and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Put the cucumbers in a medium bowl and add the pickling solution; they should be completely covered by the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 6 hours before serving.
