Ingredients
2 1/2 cups 1-in. slices of mini cucumbers, about 6 cucumbers
1 tbsp course salt
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 tsp whole fennel, or caraway seeds
Instructions
Toss sliced cucumbers in a colander with 1 tbsp coarse salt. Set aside.
Make vinegar mixture by whisking vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high until sugar dissolves.
Add garlic and fennel. Rinse cucumbers well under cold running water. Pat dry and pack into 2 500-mL Mason jars. Pour in vinegar mixture.
Fasten lids. Refrigerate at least 12 hours before serving. They keep for about 10 days in the fridge, developing more and more flavour.
