Method:
1. Put the cucumber, onion slices, ginger and garlic into a clean quart canning jar. 2. Add the remaining brine ingredients to a pot an boil on the stove top for 5 minutes.
3. Pour the hot liquid mixture over the cucumbers and onions in the jar and close lid. Let it set for 5-10 minutes.
4. Strain the liquid back into the pot and boil another 10 minutes. Pour over the cucumbers and onions in the jar again and set for another 10 minutes with the lid on.
5. Now, bring water to a boil in the pot (enough water to cover the jar at least half way when submerged) and set the jar, with the lid on and the cucumbers in the brine, in the boiling water.
