Start by peeling your cucumber.
Split it lengthwise so you can remove the seeds. They need to be scraped out and discarded.
Then cut into 1 cm slices and place them in a bowl.
Sprinkle them generously with salt to draw out some of the liquid.
Let the bowl sit to soak overnight or at least for a few hours.
Rinse off the salt under cold running water.
Dry them thoroughly, e.g., with a clean tea towel.
Bring all ingredients to a boil in a 2 or 3-liter pot. Season to taste.
Scald a pickling jar and put the dried cucumbers in it.
Pour the boiling brine over them and seal the jar immediately.
Let them sit for a couple of weeks.
