Homemade Refrigerator Pickles
Years ago a co-worker of mine would bring it homemade pickles. I thought it would take a long, complicated canning process to make them, but she told me they were refrigerator pickles. They basically sit in vinegar to pickle them and you add spices. Ingredients: About ten pickles (shorter ones make better slices, while longer ones are better if you like spears) 2 cups of vinegar 4 cups of water 1 tablespoon course salt 1 tablespoon sugar Add a variety of spices. I used: Peppercorns Fresh Dill Fresh Garlic Cloves Other suggestions: Mustard Seed, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning Slice pickles in preferred way and place them into mason jar along with seasonings. Simmer water and vinegar and add salt and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour into jars and seal. Store in fridge. Consume within six weeks. Quick Refrigerator Pickles
