Refrigerator Dill Pickles
First up, let’s feast our eyes on the star of the show:
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4-5 medium cucumbers, sliced
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons dill seeds or a bunch of fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (optional, but why not?)
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
Instructions to Crunchy Heaven
- Start by washing your cucumbers like they’re about to walk down a red carpet. Slice them as thick or thin as you like, but remember – thicker slices mean more crunch!
- Now, in a medium pot, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring this mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt dissolve. It’s like a little pickling spa treatment!
- Remove the pot from the heat and toss in your garlic, dill, mustard seeds, and peppercorns. Let the mixture cool for a bit. We don’t want it scalding our precious cucumbers!
- Grab a jar (or two) and start layering your cucumber slices. Pour the cooled pickling liquid over them. Make sure all those lovely slices are submerged. If you’re feeling flashy, sprinkle a few more dill sprigs on top!
- Seal the jars tightly and pop them into the fridge. Let those flavors mingle in there for at least 24 hours. Yes, it’s hard to wait, but good things come to those who chill!
- In just a day, you’ll be rewarded with tangy, crunchy, downright irresistible dill pickles. Now go forth, and conquer your snack game!
With these Refrigerator Dill Pickles, you’ll never look at cucumbers the same way again. They’ll be your go-to snack, sidekick, and even a conversation starter. So whip up a batch, and prepare to be the pickle hero at your next gathering!
