2 Pound pickling cucumbers, sliced

0.5 yellow onion, sliced

2 red jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced into rings

3 Tablespoon kosher salt

2 Cup distilled white vinegar

2 Cup white sugar

0.25 Cup water

2 cloves garlic, sliced

1 Tablespoon mustard seed

1 Teaspoon celery seeds

1 Teaspoon whole black peppercorns

0.5 Teaspoon ground turmeric

⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

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, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 hours. Rinse cucumber mixture in a colander under cold water until all salt is washed away, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Stir vinegar, sugar, water, garlic, mustard seed, celery seed, peppercorns, turmeric, and ground cloves together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer and cook until brine flavors combine, about 2 minutes. Add cucumber mixture to brine; heat until almost boiling, remove from heat, and cool completely. Transfer to jars and store in the refrigerator.
