Ingredients: 2 cups red wine vinegar; 1 1/2 cups sugar; 1/4 cup kosher salt; 1 teaspoon mustard seeds; 3/4 teaspoon coriander seeds; 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds; 1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns; 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed; 1 red Fresno chile, split in half; 6 Kirby cucumbers (about 2 pounds)

Servings: persons

2 cups red wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
3/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 red Fresno chile, split in half
6 Kirby cucumbers (about 2 pounds)

1
In a saucepot, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, celery seeds, peppercorns, garlic, chile and 2 cups water and bring the mixture to a boil to dissolve the sugar and salt.
2
Using a mandolin (or sharp knife), slice the cucumbers 1/4-inch thick and place in a large heat-safe bowl or container.
3
Once the mixture boils, pour the liquid over the sliced cucumbers, making sure the cucumbers are submerged.
4
Let the cucumbers sit in the liquid as it comes to room temperature, for about 20 minutes.
5
Drain the pickles and reserve the liquid.
6
Serve as is or fry em' up!
7
To serve, add a little of the pickling juice right on top of the pickles.
8
Cook's Notes: Reserve your pickling liquid to use on the pickles later or as a vinegary addition to sauces.
9
The longer the pickles sit in the liquid the softer they become, so for me 20 minutes is perfect.
10
This pickling liquid is great to pickle a variety of vegetables, try carrots, one of my favorites.
