Ingredients for about 2 pints:
2 lbs pickling or other firm, little cucumbers
2 or 3 red jalapeno or similar pepper, sliced
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
4 tbsp kosher salt
2 cups sugar
2 cups white distilled vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 tsp black peppercorns
2 cloves garlic, sliced

Combine cucumbers, onion and peppers in a bowl; pour kosher salt over the top and stir to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Rinse cucumber mixture in a colander under cold water until all salt is washed away then drain.

Stir vinegar, sugar, water, garlic, mustard seed, celery seed, peppercorns, turmeric, and ground cloves together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer for about 2 minutes. Add cucumber mixture to brine then heat until almost boiling, remove from heat and cool completely. Transfer to jars and store in the refrigerator.
