Pickles for a Non-Pickle-Lover

Not being a pickle lover, I had never tried pickling cucumbers. 

I do remember having the first dill pickles I liked on a farm in Washington state prepared by a wonderful woman originally from Latvia.

Once the cucumbers started to come on the vines I gave a Refrigerator recipe a try. It made a very tasty, crunchy pickle which has a thumbs-up from the pickle eaters here!

Refrigerator Dill Pickles

"These pickles taste so fresh and have just the right amount of dill and garlic. They taste great along-side a hotdog on a bun. They also taste great alone as a healthy snack. The pickles should be good for 6 weeks. Enjoy! You can also cut cucumbers into chips if you prefer a pickle chip instead of a spear."
Ingredients
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/4 cups white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 4 cups cucumber spears
  • 2 cloves garlic, whole
  • 2 heads fresh dill

Directions


  1. Stir water, vinegar, sugar, and sea salt together in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil; remove from heat and cool completely.
  2. Combine cucumber spears, garlic cloves, and fresh dill in a large glass or plastic container. Pour cooled vinegar mixture over cucumber mixture. Seal container with lid and refrigerate for at least 3 days.
