Wash and chop the cucumbers into very fine slices
We add salt in such a way that it covers the cucumbers, so we make sure that they release as much liquid as possible. We'll leave them that way for a few minutes.
In a pot add water, vinegar, pepper, turmeric, bay leaf and sugar and bring to a boil.
When the water begins to boil, add the cucumbers, to which we will have previously removed the excess salt. Let it boil for approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Once boiled, remove from the water and pack in a glass jar. We will add liquid to the pickles so that they are completely covered. Reserve in the fridge and leave it for at least a week.
Once the time has elapsed, we will have our pickles ready to enjoy in hamburgers, sandwiches or alone in one bite!
