Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles

Ingredients:

• 7 pickling cucumbers
• 1 white onion
• 3 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white vinegar
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons celery seeds
• 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions:

1. Thinly slice the cucumbers and onion. In a large bowl, toss the cucumber and onion slices with kosher salt. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. After 1 hour, transfer the cucumbers and onions to a colander and rinse off the salt. Drain excess water from the bowl and return the cucumber and onions to it.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients (brown sugar, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, celery seeds, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes). Heat over medium-high heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar has dissolved.
4. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and onions. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
5. Once cooled, chill the cucumber and onion mixture in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
6. Enjoy your pickles within two months, storing them in the fridge.
