How to Make Microwave Sweet Pickles
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds, 1 cup white vinegar, and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 medium cucumbers (thinly sliced) and 1/2 small onion (thinly sliced).
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and onion, ensuring they are fully submerged.
- Microwave, uncovered, on high for 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!). Stir the pickles gently.
- Return the bowl to the microwave and cook on high for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from the microwave and let the pickles cool completely to room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Once cooled, pour the pickles into a quart-sized jar. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop and the pickles to become crisp.
- Enjoy your quick and delicious homemade microwave pickles!
