Asian Pickle Cucumbers

This could be possibly used as a true pickle, but some one more knowledgeable than me needs to make that determination.

Recipe:
2 large cucumbers
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 tbs minced cilantro
2 tbs soy sauce
1 bunch of green onions or 1 small onion diced
1 tbs chilli powder or paste
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp ginger powder

Makes approx 3 quarts

In a sauce pan combine all ingredients except the cucumbers.
Heat untill sugar is dissolved

Chop or thinly slice the cucumbers into a mixing bowl.
Add liquid mix.
Chill in fridge while sterilizing glass jars.
Fill jars and seal.

Because I am not counting this as a true pickle and did not pressure cook them, the jars went back in the fridge. It is also a great recipe for those glass jars you get from premade sauces as you can see.
