FRESH REFRIGERATOR PICKLES: CAULIFLOWER, CARROTS, CUKES, YOU NAME IT
This light brine works great with many foods: cucumbers, of course, but also carrots, turnips, onions, green beans, asparagus, jalapeno chiles, even apples. And your pickles will last for weeks in the fridge (where you MUST keep them at all times or the pickles will go bad). Don't skip the step of simmering the garlic; this cooks out sulfur compounds that otherwise will cause the cloves to turn a harmless but very unappetizing blue-green color from the acid in the vinegar.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil, reduce the heat so the water simmers and add the garlic. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and salt, raise the heat and bring to a boil, stirring until the salt dissolves. Remove from the heat.
- In 2 clear 1-quart jars, place a few sprigs of dill. Divide the seeds and peppercorns between the jars. Using tongs, remove the garlic from the brine and place 5 cloves in each jar. Then pack the jars full of cucumbers, carrots, scallions or green beans, cauliflower and chiles. You want them to be tightly stuffed.
- Bring the brine back to a boil, pour it over the vegetables to cover completely, let cool, then cover and refrigerate. The pickles will taste good in just a few hours, better after a couple of days. And they'll keep for about 3 months.
AUNT AGNES' GARLIC DILL PICKLES
I can think of no better contribution a cucumber can make than becoming a pickle! This recipe is another handwritten family cookbook classic from my step-grandmother and great aunt, Agnes (oh, these convoluted Southern families ;). It is important to make sure your vinegar is of a high quality--don't go generic. We usually use Heinz brand. Also, this recipe is for 7-8 quarts, so adjust accordingly based on how many cucumbers you have (or their size!).

Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: Look for pickling cucumbers, which are smaller and have thinner skin than slicing cucumbers. English cucumbers can also be used, but they may not be as flavorful.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your pickles the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Make sure your jars are clean: Sterilize your jars and lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. This will help to prevent bacteria from growing in your pickles.
- Keep your pickles in a cool place: Once your pickles are made, store them in a cool, dark place. This will help them to stay fresh and crisp.
Conclusion:
Refrigerator pickles are a delicious and easy way to enjoy fresh cucumbers. With a variety of flavors to choose from, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will love. So next time you have a surplus of cucumbers, give refrigerator pickles a try. You won't be disappointed!
