Easy Refrigerator Pickles
Here is a nice easy recipe to make in the summer when you have a lot of cucumbers.
EASY REFRIGERATOR PICKLES
6 cups thinly slice cucumbers, (A mandolin is great for this).
2 medium onions
1 large Pepper, (Green, Red, or Yellow)
½ tsp mustard seed
½ tsp celery seed
½ tsp tarragon
½ tsp salt
Black Pepper to taste.
1 ½ cups white vinegar
1 cup sugar
Layer cucumbers, then onions and peppers in a glass crock (A large Ball jar with a gasket and clamp is good for this, or a bowl with a tight fitting lid.
In a pot mix the vinegar, sugar, mustard seed, celery seed, tarragon, salt and pepper. Boil until dissolved. Cool slightly. Then pour over the cucumber, onion and pepper mixture. Let cool on counter. Seal and refrigerate overnight. Serve
This holds for about 3 weeks in the refrigerator. A nice side dish for dinners.
You can slice the cucumbers thin or thick. However, I think they taste better thinner. You do not have peel the cucumbers either.
ENJOY!
