Refrigerator Pickles

Refrigerator Pickles

I made these amazing Refrigerator Pickles. I had never made pickles before. My family was very dubious, until they tasted them 6 hours later. They are completely hooked. They were scarfing them down at 11:30 at night in their PJs. It was so successful, that I went out and bought more vinegar to make more. I want to try to make green beans, carrots, asparagus and snap peas!
