Thoroughly wash cucumbers. Slice and place in a large colander.
Slice onions and mix in with cucumbers in colander. Place colander in a large bowl. Cover with ice water. Sprinkle with salt. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

In a large bowl combine sugars, vinegar and pickling spices. Pour pickling syrup over cucumbers in jars.
Close each jar with a lid. Place in refrigerator for at least 3 days, shaking it up each day. Eat and enjoy.

Notes

I use pickling salt. You can also use Kosher salt as a substitute if necessary.
Use fresh cucumbers. I’ve noticed ones pulled straight from the garden work best.
