Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers: Small, firm cucumbers like pickling cucumbers or Kirby cucumbers are best for making refrigerator pickles.
Slice the cucumbers thinly: Thinly sliced cucumbers will pickle more quickly and evenly.
Use a flavorful brine: The brine is what gives refrigerator pickles their flavor. Be sure to use a brine that contains vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices.
Let the pickles rest: After the pickles have been brined, let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before eating. This will allow the flavors to develop.
