Homemade Dill Refridgerator Pickles

Dill Refrigerator Pickles

 I LOVE PICKLES!!! A friend of mine recently made pickles so I asked for him to send me the recipe. With a few simple alterations I made it my own! This recipe makes 3 jars of pickles.

These pickles are meant to be eaten in a short time period-- AKA Refrigerator Pickles!

Ingredients:
3 c. water
3 c. apple cider vinegar
4 tbsp. pickling salt

3 large cucumbers, washed and cut into slices (short ways)
1 vidalia onion
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes per jar
1 tbsp. dill weed per jar
1/2 tsp. black peppercorns per jar
6 garlic cloves, peeled, 2 per jar
1 tsp. coriander seeds per jar
1 tsp. mustard seeds per jar

*To add spiciness to your pickles, add a few sliced jalapeno peppers to each jar**

Directions:
-Combine vinegar, water, and pickling salt in a saucepan. Cook until simmering but not boiling.

-Divide the spices into the jars, then pack the cucumbers into each jar. Add large pieces of vidalia onion in with cucumbers.

-Pour the simmering vinegar combination over the cucumbers and onion into the jar. Leave 1/2 inch of air left at the top of the jar but make sure all of the contents are covered.

-Tap the bottoms of the jar to remove any air bubbles, then screw the lid on. Let cool to room temperature then place in refrigerator.

-Let the pickles sit in the refrigerator for 48 hours to 72 hours.

*Taste great as a sandwich topping or by themselves*

ENJOY :)
