Nice and simple way to turn your cucumbers into pickles, without the fuss of canning!
Another recipe from my blog! I'm sure it's not a very original/unique recipe, but this is how I did up my Refrigerator Pickles this year. They don't last as long as the canned ones do, but we'll can some up later for longevity, these are for enjoying this season! I did one batch with White Vinegar (5% acidity) and one with Apple Cider Vinegar.. I did NOT taste test the ACV version until later... and they came out SUPER SALTY! So, lesson learned, ALWAYS TASTE TEST! The white vinegar came out great... nice dill flavor with a hint of garlic, MUCH better than store bought!!

Step 1Add Vinegar, CANNING Salt, and Water to a pot and bring to a boil to creat the brine.
-
Step 2Stir until salt is dissolved. TASTE TEST THE BRINE! Make sure it is not too salty, too vinegary or too weak. Adjust accordingly to get the best balance of all three. Put mixture aside.
-
Step 3Gather all your ingredients and clean mason jars.
-
Step 4Add about 3 cloves of Garlic, 2 full sprigs of dill, a pinch of mustard seeds, a pinch of minced onions (*or real onions), a few peppercorns and a single bay leaf to your jars.
-
Step 5Slice up your cucumbers so they are shorter than the mason jars.
Also, for the pints, slicing them into quarters helped pack more in per jar. You can also slice them into pieces or leave them whole if using a bigger container.
-
Step 6Arrange the pickles in the jar so you can fill it up nice and tight. It's like a puzzle, you may have to do some rearranging. :-)
-
Step 7Add your brine to the jars leaving a little space at the top. (About a 1/4 inch.)
-
Step 8Put the lids on and place jars in the refrigerator. Wait AT LEAST 1 week to enjoy!
