-
3
Line a colander with two or three paper towels.
-
4
Put the cucumbers and onion in the colander, cover with additional paper towels, and set a plate on top to slightly weigh the cucumber mixture down (this will help remove any excess moisture).

In a large saucepan, bring the remaining ingredients to a boil over high heat.

Cook for 3 minutes, or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
-
9
Remove from the heat and let cool for 15 minutes.

The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Finely chop the cucumbers and onion, and add 1 finely chopped medium green or red bell pepper.
