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!
Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Ingredients
1 to 1½ pounds of picking cucumbers, sliced into spears or chips
1 cup sliced onions
2 cups distilled white vinegar
2 cups water
2 Tablespoons kosher salt
2½ Tablespoons sugar
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 Tablespoons pickling spice
1 Tablespoon dill weed
Directions
1Put the cucumbers and onions in a 3 liter jar.
2In a saucepan over medium heat, bring vinegar, water, salt, sugar, garlic, pickling spice and dill weed to a boil. Lower heat and simmer about 2 -3 minutes. Remove pot from the stove and let cool 5 minutes.
3Pour the pickling mixture over the pickles and let cool 15 minutes. Seal the jar and let come to room temperature. Refrigerate for 2 – 3 weeks. They are ready to eat in 24 hours!
