REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES



Refrigerator Dill Pickles image

Using only a handful of pantry ingredients, a Mason jar, and a few hours in the refrigerator, you can make classic dill pickles that are just as tangy and flavorful as those prepared according to more traditional (and labor-intensive) canning techniques. Plus this recipe can be scaled with ease, meaning you can make just one jar or ten in a matter of minutes. So if you're a pickle lover but short on time, this method is for you.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup rice wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 sprigs dill
3 cloves garlic
1 1/4 pounds kirby cucumbers, ends trimmed (about 4 medium cucumbers; see Cook's Note)

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.
