REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES

These pickles taste so fresh and have just the right amount of dill and garlic. They taste great along-side a hotdog on a bun. They also taste great alone as a healthy snack. The pickles should be good for 6 weeks. Enjoy! You can also cut cucumbers into chips if you prefer a pickle chip instead of a spear.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: For the best results, use pickling cucumbers, which are smaller and have thinner skin than regular cucumbers.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your pickles the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Use a clean jar: Make sure your jar is clean and sterilized before you start making your pickles. You can sterilize a jar by boiling it in water for 10 minutes.
  • Let the pickles cool completely before storing: Once you have made your pickles, let them cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator. This will help to prevent the pickles from becoming cloudy.
  • Store the pickles in the refrigerator for up to 2 months: Properly stored, your pickles will last for up to 2 months in the refrigerator.
