Directions:
1. Combine sliced cucumbers and salt in a large bowl, cover and chill in the refrigerator for two hours. After the cucumbers have been chilled, move them into a colander and rinse well under cold water. Drain the cucumbers, and return them to the bowl. Add onions.
2. Pour white vinegar and apple cider vinegar into a medium pot. Add white sugar, brown sugar, and all of the spices. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
3. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the cucumber mixture, and allow to stand at room temperature for one hour. Put the pickles into jars of your choosing, with lids. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
Pickles will last in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about four weeks.

Scarlette's Tip: Always rinse your beans, canned or not. This washes away the compounds that cause unwanted gas on a date or in general. Also, it eliminates some unwanted salt, starch and minerals that effect the taste.
