Like a bread and butter pickle and really super easy. You can even play with the proportions a bit. I like to increase the vinegar, salt and spices a bit but you could make it sweeter too. Be prepared to make this one over and over if you have any pickle lovers in the house.

7 MINUTE MICROWAVE PICKLES
Categories Vegetable
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together and microwave on high for 7 minutes. Put in refrigerator to crisp and store in refrigerator. (I use a quart measuring cup to cook these in.)
Tips:
- Choose the freshest cucumbers you can find. The fresher the cucumbers, the better your pickles will be.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
- Be careful not to overcook the cucumbers. Overcooked cucumbers will be mushy and not have a good flavor.
- Use a clean glass jar to store the pickles. This will help to prevent them from spoiling.
- Store the pickles in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Microwave pickles are a quick and easy way to enjoy this delicious snack. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a batch of pickles that are perfect for your next party or picnic. So next time you're craving a pickle, skip the store and try making your own in the microwave. You won't be disappointed!
