Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Kirby cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup pickling salt
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Place sliced cucumbers and onion in a large bowl. Sprinkle with pickling salt and toss to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours, or refrigerate overnight.
- Drain the cucumbers and onions thoroughly. Rinse them under cold water and drain again, pressing out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large pot, combine apple cider vinegar, water, sweetener, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sweetener is dissolved.
- Add the drained cucumbers and onions to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pot from heat. Let the pickles cool in the liquid.
- Transfer the Sugar-Free Bread and Butter Pickles to clean jars. Ensure the pickles are submerged in the brine.
- Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- For best results, use Kirby cucumbers as they have a firm texture.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes for your desired level of spice.
- These Sugar-Free Bread and Butter Pickles will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.
