REFRIGERATOR GARLIC DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• Bring brine solution of water, vinegar & salt to a boil, then turn off burner.
• In an ice cream bucket, layer dill head(s), garlic chunks, onion slices and cucumbers. Small cucumbers can be thrown in whole. Larger cucumbers should be quartered.
• Pour warm (not hot) brine over the cucumbers and place a plate on top to keep the cucumbers submerged. Cover bucker & put in frig. Pickles can be eaten after 5 day. Pickles will last in frig for 9 - 12 months.
• NOTE: Other ingredients (such as hot peppers, whole black pepper corns, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, etc. ) can be added to the ice cream bucket for a different flavor sensation.

EASY GARLIC DILL PICKLES {NO CANNING NEEDED}

Steps:

• Prepare the number of quart jars equal to amount of pickles you have by running through the dishwasher or boiling for 10 minutes in a pot of water to sterilize.
• Place the garlic and dill in the bottom of each jar, along with optional red pepper flakes. Pack the cucumbers on top, leaving a 1/2 to 1 inch of head space.
• In a large saucepan, combine water, vinegar, spices, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Ladle the brine into the jar leaving 1/4 inch of head space. Attach lids.
• Let cool to room temperature, label the lids with day and year and then store in the refrigerator.
• The pickles can be eaten after 3-4 weeks and continue to improve over the months of storage.*

REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• Bring the vinegar, 1 1/2 cups water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the salt is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, place the peppercorns, red pepper flakes, dill and garlic in a 1-quart Mason (or other glass) jar. Pack the cucumbers in the jar as tightly as possible.
• Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers so the cucumbers are completely submerged. Leave uncovered and allow to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 day before using. The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

QUICK REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• Clean the cucumbers well and then snip off the ends. Then cut into either spears or thin rounds. Stuff the cucumbers into two clean 1-quart glass jars. Divide the garlic, dill, bay leaves, coriander, peppercorns, mustard seeds and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) between both jars and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water, salt and sugar. Set over moderate heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Remove from heat and cool down to room temperature.
• Once cooled, pour the mixture between both jars up to the very top. Seal tightly and place in the fridge for at least 1 week or up to 1 month.

SMALL-BATCH REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• To make the brine, put water, vinegar, and salt in a small saucepan and heat to boiling. Remove from heat. (You can skip this step, but then your pickles will take longer to mature.).
• Pack each sterilized jar with prepared carrots, 1 sprig of dill, 1 clove of garlic, 1 bay leaf, and some of the mustard seeds, peppercorns, and chili flakes. I like to use miniature baby carrots (Green Giant kind) and just leave them whole. You can sterilize your jars by running them through the dishwasher and then not touching the insides or lip again.
• Pour the hot brine into the jars, filling the jar up to the inner lip (about 1/2" from the top). Screw on a lid and let them sit out on the counter for an hour or two to cool, then put in the fridge.
• Your pickles will be ready in about a week, depending on how thick the veggies are. Baby corn is usually ready in just a few days, but baby carrots take at least a week for the flavor to get to the center.
