Best Homemade Refrigerator Pickles

pickling cucumbers, (each about 4 inches in length, sliced evenly)

Vidalia onion, (sliced)

dill weed

apple cider vinegar

water

garlic, (smashed)

pickling salt, (or kosher salt)

sugar

black peppercorns

mustard seeds

red pepper flakes

Pack a clean pint-sized jar with sliced cucumbers, onion slices, and dill sprigs. Leave a 1/2 inch of space at the top of the jar for liquid.

In a small pot heat the vinegar, water, garlic, and all spices until the mixture comes to a simmer and salt and sugar dissolve.

Cool the brine down to warm and fill the jar so everything is covered with brine.

Close the lid tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours before eating.

Sweet and Spicy Cucumbers and Vinegar make the most delicious refrigeration pickles that only take about 5 minutes to make. This homemade pickle recipe is a great snack that takes up almost no room in the fridge!

Sweet and Spicy Cucumbers and Vinegar

cucumbers

white vinegar

salt

mustard seed

Prepare the cucumbers by slicing them how you like, spears or rounds both work great. Place them in a glass mason jar or a bowl.

In a medium pan, add the water, vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns, whole mustard seed, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil and boil for one minute. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the prepared cucumbers.

Let the cucumbers and vinegar mixture rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (though overnight is great, too) before enjoying.

Keep pickles in the fridge, submerged in the brine, for up to a week.

How To Make Kosher Dill Barrel Pickles

Kirby cucumbers

garlic

coriander seeds

yellow mustard seeds

brown mustard seeds

bay leaves

Dill

5% vinegar

non-treated filtered water

Wash

Wash the Kirby cucumbers and trim off ends.

Fill

Place the Kirby cucumbers tightly in crock or container standing up vertically. Pack the cucumbers in as tight as you can without bruising them.

Season

Add the whole garlic cloves, mustard seeds, coriander and fresh dill sprigs to the crock or container on top of the cucumbers.

Mix the untreated water with the Kosher salt in a bowl. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved, add the vinegar and stir.

Pour

Pour the salt water mixture (brine) over the cucumbers and spices in the crock or container until the cucumbers are covered completely, mixing more brine if needed to completely cover the cucumbers.

Cover

Place a fermentation weight, plate or bowl on top of the cucumbers to force the cucumbers under the brine and keep them submerged at all times. Check frequently, at least once a day to make sure the cucumbers stay completely submerged.

Ferment

Ferment the Kosher Dill Barrel pickles in a cool area where the temperature stays about 65 to 70 degrees F. at all times.

Check

Check the cucumbers every 24 hours and remove any foam that floats on the top of the brine surface.

For half sour Kosher Dill Barrel Pickles ferment the cucumbers for 5 days. For full sour Kosher Dill Barrel Pickles ferment up 10 days. After 5 days of fermenting begin tasting the Kosher Dill Barrel Pickles for the preference of pickle sourness you enjoy.

Refrigerate

Once the kosher dill barrel pickles have achieved the sourness that you like transfer the Kosher Dill Pickles to individual glass jars, cover with the pickling brine and store in the refrigerator.

If using a one-gallon mason jar to ferment the pickles you may cover the jar with a lid and store it in the refrigerator.
