Refrigerator Scallion Pickles

• 2 quarts water
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 70 green onions (about 8 bunches)
• 4 (2-inch) lemon rind strips
• 4 thyme sprigs
• 1 1/2 cups white vinegar
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds

1. Combine 2 quarts water and salt in a large saucepan or Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Cut bottom halves of green onions into 4-inch pieces; reserve tops for another use. Add green onions to water; cook 30 seconds. Plunge into ice water; drain. Divide green onions equally among 2 (1-pint) mason jars. Divide rind and thyme evenly among jars.
2. Combine vinegar and remaining ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar. Divide vinegar mixture evenly between jars; cool. Cover and chill at least 24 hours.
