The sons have a love hate relationship with pickles.

They either love them or hate them with two for and two against.

I bolster the for them side since I am all for their salty, briny taste!

We’ve always got a family size jar in the fridge just for when one of us needs a pickle fix.

Or at least we did.

Then I got a deal from our local farmers market that resulted in us getting several pounds of free cucumbers and I couldn’t let those beauties go to waste.

Fortunately, I found a way to make an easy, refrigerator pickle with no complicated ingredients or methods involved. I’m looking at you pickling spice!

With a few easy ingredients and three short days later we were busy crunching down on the ~~fruits~~ pickles of our labor.

Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

Cucumbers– You can slice them into spears or slices. We normally do jars of both.
Vinegar– Use white vinegar instead of any other variety.
Water– To make the base of the brine.
Sugar– To cut the acid.
Salt– Go for sea salt instead of table salt.
Seasonings– Garlic cloves, fresh dill and peppercorns.

How to Make

Making these refrigerator pickles is so easy!

There is no pectin or canning involved whatsoever.

To make them, cut cucumbers into spears or slices or do a mix of both!

Then whisk together the water, salt, sugar, and vinegar in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. After it starts boiling, remove the mix from heat and let cool completely.

Place cucumbers, dill, and garlic in one large glass jar or several small jars. Get as many pickles into your jars as you can without crushing any of them.

Then, pour cooled liquid in jars and seal and refrigerate for 3 days.

After 3 days, enjoy!

How long will they stay good in the fridge?

These pickles should last about a month in the fridge.
