Equipment

1 Mandolin
1 32-ounce Mason Jar

Ingredients

¾ cup hot water
¾ cup white vinegar
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper
3 medium-sized pickling cucumbers like Kirby pickles, thinly sliced
½ medium sweet onion thinly sliced

Instructions

Add hot water, white vinegar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and black pepper into a heat-proof jar and cover and shake to combine until the sugar and salt are dissolved. I use a 32-ounce mason jar.
Add the cucumbers and sweet onion to the jar, pushing the cucumbers and onions down into the liquid. Make sure all the vegetables are covered with liquid.
Cover and store in the fridge for at least 8 hours before serving.
To serve, remove pickles and onions with a fork or slotted spoon from the brine.

Notes

These pickles will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks.
For this recipe, I suggest using a heat-safe jar.
