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! :).

I've tried a lot of different pickle recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The pickles are always crispy and flavorful, and the brine is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

I love making these pickles in the summer when cucumbers are at their peak. They're a great way to preserve the freshness of the cucumbers and enjoy them all year long.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pickles turned out really soft. They're still tasty, but I was hoping for a crispier pickle.

I made these pickles a few weeks ago and they're still going strong. They're still crispy and flavorful, and the brine is still nice and tangy.

I couldn't find any pickling salt at the store, so I used regular salt instead. The pickles still turned out great, but they're a little bit salty for my taste.

These pickles are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still really good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of dill pickles, but these pickles are a game-changer. The sweetness and spice balance out the dill perfectly.
