Scrub the cucumbers thoroughly with salt: place them in a bowl with three tablespoons of salt and rub them well. Cucumbers have quite a bumpy skin, and the salt helps to remove all the dirt. Rinse them off with water.
Place the cucumbers in a preserving jar along with two tablespoons of salt, the sugar, mustard seeds, and white peppercorns.
Boil the water and vinegar and pour it over the cucumbers in the preserving jar.
Invert the jar for an hour to mix everything well and then store it in a cool, dry place.
Tips
These pickled pickles are perfect for serving with charcuterie, on sandwiches, or as a fresh addition to salads and at pate. Variation: For imposed onions you can follow the same recipe, but replace the normal vinegar with red wine vinegar for an extra deep taste.
