Refrigerator pickles

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

I just don’t have storage capacity to do canning, but I’d like to pickle some things for a few months just to say that I did it and of course sample the results.  Any favorite recipes?

Go to market and buy some already done, hide them in the back of your fridge, "discover" them in  about six months. 

 

 

 ..... you might want to tear the labels off before you hide them

The Mrs has started doing this by making a brine of sorts and waffle slicing fresh cucumbers and letting it all get yummy in the fridge. Don’t know if she has any specific recipe for it however

 I'm not the one that's trying to make un-eatable things less edible ...

Basic "brine":  1 cup sugar (or equivalent), 2/3 cup vinegar (I use ACV), 1 tsp salt - heat until sugar dissolves.  No need to boil.

Then add seasonings while mixture is still hot.  For dill, use dill seed (obviously).  For bread & butter, use whole allspice, clove, little bit of stick cinnamon (I like more clove than cinnamon).  Basically, it's like Justin Wilson's Cajun cooking:  use what you like and what you got.

Slice your cukes (and onion) into the cooled mixture, put in fridge in glass container (Mason jar), and let rest 12 hours.
