Refrigerator Pickles

Mary's 2021 Pickle Packs-Spears, Sliced and Slabs.

Mary (Rumppe) Young got this recipe from her son-in-law Brodie. She likes it because it is both easy to prepare and also the pickles stay crisp.  

Brine:

• 2 cups Water
• 1 cup Vinegar
• 2 Tbsp Salt 
• 1 tsp Sugar

Directions:

• Boil to dissolve the salt and sugar
• Cool to room temperature
• In a quart jar add.
• Sliced Cucumbers
• 1 Dill flower head
• ½ tsp Peppercorns
• Enough brine to cover
• Cover jars and keep in the refrigerator.  

Mary says it takes about a month before the cucumber slices start to take on their pickle qualities.
