Description

A tangy, refreshing no-cook recipe for refrigerator pickles that bring back warm memories of summer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium cucumbers (sliced into desired shapes)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon dill (fresh or dried)
  • 2 cloves garlic (optional, minced)
  • Other vegetables (like bell peppers or onions – optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the cucumbers into your desired shapes—think circles, spears, or even a fun zig-zag.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the water, white vinegar, sugar, salt, dill, and garlic (if you’re using it). Stir gently until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
  3. Pack your sliced cucumbers (and any additional vegetables you like) into a clean jar.
  4. Pour the pickling liquid over the vegetables, ensuring that each piece is completely submerged.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and pop it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 24 hours before digging in!

Notes

These pickles stay fresh for a week or two. Feel free to customize with other vegetables and herbs.
