Refrigerator Pickles Recipe

by Chef Smith

Ingredients

8-12 pickling cucumbers 6 large cloves garlic, smashed 1-2 hot peppers (optional) 2 cups white vinegar (pickling vinegar 5%)

4 cups water ¼ cup Kosher salt 3-4 fresh dill heads or 2-3 tablespoons dried dill weed

Directions

1. Cut cucumbers into slices or spears. Smash garlic. Place all into 1-gallon container and add dill. Combine vinegar, water and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Let cool and pour liquid into the container. Place in refrigerator. Pickles will be ready in a few days to a week, and will continue to "ripen" as time goes by. Mix can be refreshed by adding fresh dill, garlic, onion, & peppers.
2. You can be creative and add other items to the mix such as green beans, zucchini, radishes, okra, bell peppers, etc. You can also vary the amounts of vinegar, salt and water to match your personal taste. Pickles will last several months in your refrigerator.
