KITTENCAL'S EASY REFRIGERATOR KOSHER GARLIC-DILL PICKLES



Kittencal's Easy Refrigerator Kosher Garlic-Dill Pickles image

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

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time P7DT15m

Yield 2 pds pickles

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups water (I use distilled bottled water)
1/4 cup kosher salt (use only kosher salt)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 lbs small cucumbers, thoroughly scrubbed
1/3-1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill (for a stronger dill flavor increase to 3/4 cup)
8 large fresh garlic cloves (coarsely chopped or sliced, use more for a stronger garlic taste)
8 whole black peppercorns

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.

REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES



Refrigerator Dill Pickles image

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.

SMALL-BATCH REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES



Small-Batch Refrigerator Dill Pickles image

Just want a small amount of pickles with no cooking or processing? This recipe will fix you up with 3 to 4 half pint jars in about 10-15 minutes. The hard part is waiting the week until they are done! The recipe below calls for carrots, but you can use any fresh vegetable--my favorite is (canned) baby corn, but cucumber, green or jalapeño peppers, green beans or even legumes like chickpeas also work. I like making four different kinds with each batch I make. I use half pint canning jars with the plastic screw-on lids that you can buy separately, but you could use any leftover glass jar you have around, as long as it is sterilized before you use it.

Provided by Yobittles

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups water
1/4 cup vinegar (I use plain white, but cider vinegar also works)
1 tablespoon pickling salt
4 sprigs dill
1 garlic clove, split in half
3 -4 bay leaves (optional)
1 tablespoon mustard seeds (optional)
1/2-1 tablespoon black peppercorns (optional)
chili flakes (to taste, depending on if you like your pickles hot.)
1 -2 lb carrots (the amount depends on how they are cut and how tightly you pack the jars.) or 1 -2 lb cucumber (the amount depends on how they are cut and how tightly you pack the jars.)

Steps:

  • To make the brine, put water, vinegar, and salt in a small saucepan and heat to boiling. Remove from heat. (You can skip this step, but then your pickles will take longer to mature.).
  • Pack each sterilized jar with prepared carrots, 1 sprig of dill, 1 clove of garlic, 1 bay leaf, and some of the mustard seeds, peppercorns, and chili flakes. I like to use miniature baby carrots (Green Giant kind) and just leave them whole. You can sterilize your jars by running them through the dishwasher and then not touching the insides or lip again.
  • Pour the hot brine into the jars, filling the jar up to the inner lip (about 1/2" from the top). Screw on a lid and let them sit out on the counter for an hour or two to cool, then put in the fridge.
  • Your pickles will be ready in about a week, depending on how thick the veggies are. Baby corn is usually ready in just a few days, but baby carrots take at least a week for the flavor to get to the center.

SLICED, SPICED AND ICED REFRIGERATOR SWEET DILL PICKLES



Sliced, Spiced and Iced Refrigerator Sweet Dill Pickles image

Feeling a little lazy and not wanting to can, I was looking for a good recipe for chilled dill pickles, but couldn't quite find the exact recipe I wanted so I have adapted a recipe from Group Recipes and Epicurious to fit my needs. It's slightly sweet with the lovely taste of dill. I hope this fits your needs too! :) Cooking time is marinating time. Thank you for the inspiration coconutlime and Amelia Saltsman!

Time P7DT15m

Yield 4 pint jars, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs small pickling cucumbers, sliced 1/4-1/2-inch thick (or regular cucumbers-may cut into spears also)
4 garlic cloves, sliced
4 sprigs fresh dill (optional)
2 cups cold water
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dill seed
2 cups white distilled vinegar
1 cup sugar (or 1 1/2 cups depending on sweetness you desire)
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less depending on heat level you desire)
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn (optional)

Steps:

  • Evenly divide the garlic, fresh dill and sliced cucumbers among four wide mouthed pint jars.
  • Before adding the mustard seed, red pepper flakes, peppercorns(if using) and dill seed, crush them slightly. You can use your hands, a mortar and pestle, or give then one quick whiz in the food processor(optional).
  • In a saucepan, mix together vinegar, water, sugar, red pepper flakes, celery seed, salt, mustard seed and dill seed. Heat to just dissolve sugar, then remove and let cool. Use a funnel to fill each jar with the cooled brining liquid. The spices may float to the bottom, so use a spoon to evenly divide anything that is leftover into the jars. Cap tightly and refrigerate at least one week before eating. Enjoy!
  • It was suggested you do this over a large bowl. The cucumbers start to float and displace liquid. Add the overflow back into the brining mixture before you fill up the next jar. No mess! :).

SPICY REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES



Spicy Refrigerator Dill Pickles image

Plan well ahead these need to chill for a minimum of 12 days, but use with a month, adjust the red pepper flakes to taste, the amount listed with give you mild heat, I use about 3 teaspoons for extreme heat! ----- you will need 12 cucumbers and three 1-1/2-pint wide mouth jars, you may double this recipe but make two separate recipes in two large bowls (12 cucumbers for each bowl) this recipe can also be made to process. These dill pickles are spicy with a hint of sweetness, and worth making :)
