KITTENCAL'S EASY REFRIGERATOR KOSHER GARLIC-DILL PICKLES
I make these every year when my pickling cucumbers are ready in my garden, they are really great pickles and so easy to make, add in more garlic and adjust the dill if desired --- these pickles develop in flavor with refrigeration time so allow them to chill at least 7 days or even longer before using, the longer the better, the pickles will keep for months in the refrigerator, use only kosher salt for this not table salt, and make certain to wash the outsides of the cucumbers thoroughly, see note on bottom --- for soaking the pickles in firstly to remove bacteria see my recipe#300387

Steps:
- Clean the glass jar and lid thoroughly in your dishwasher or with hot soapy water.
- Combine the water, salt and vinegar in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.
- Pack the cucumbers and the remaining ingredients in a 2-quart (2 litre) glass jar, and pour brine (water/vinegar mixture) over them, covering the cucumbers completely.
- Store, covered in the the refrigerator.
- The pickles will be ready in 7 days, but the longer you leave them in the refrigerator the better they will be and will keep refrigerated for months (if they last that long!).
- **NOTE** since the peel is eaten on these pickles, make certain to wash and scrub the outside of the cucumbers well to remove any dirt, I use a small nail brush to scrub the outsides.

Steps:
- Wash cucumbers well and cut off blossom end by about 1/4 inch. This is where the enzymes that make pickles too soft mainly is so trimming them will help the pickles stay crispy. If you cant tell which end is the blossom end its the lighter colored end.
- Prepare the cucumbers as you wish by leaving small ones whole for baby dills, cutting them in half length wise then each half in thirds or fourths length wise to make spears, slicing rounds for hamburger chips or chopping finely for dill relish.
- Start the jars by putting the leaf in the bottom first then the spices. Next add the prepared cucumbers to the neck of the jars. Add the vinegar then enough HOT water to 1/4" from the top.
- Wipe the top rim of the jar(s) clean and place a sterilized NEW lid on each jar. Screw the ring band on and tighten.
- Place in water bath canner or stock pot with hot water in it. Make sure water level is at least one inch over the tallest jar. Bring canner to a boil. Process exactly 10 minutes. Count processing time from the time the water canner STARTS to come to a full rolling boil, not the time the jars are placed in the canner.
- Remove jars when time has been reached and cool on a towel on the counter. If they seal they are good for one year, if they don't put them in the fridge and use those ones first. They are good right away but are even better when they have been in the brine for a week. ENJOY!
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm cucumbers for the best results.
- Use a variety of pickling spices to create different flavor profiles.
- Make sure the brine is completely covering the cucumbers.
- Store the pickles in a cool, dark place.
- Wait at least 24 hours before eating the pickles to allow the flavors to develop.
