Garlic Dill Refrigerator Pickles
From Food in Jars.- Ingredients:
- 2 overflowing quarts of pickling cucumbers, sliced into fat coins
- 4 cups apple cider vinegar
- 4 cups water
- 5 tablespoons pickling salt
- 16 garlic cloves, peeled (2 per jar) (I added 3-4 per jar)
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper per jar (2 teaspoons total)
- 1 teaspoon dill seed per jar (8 teaspoons total)
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns per jar (4 teaspoons total)
Wash and slice the cucumbers.
In a large saucepot, combine vinegar, water and salt. Bring to a simmer.
Arrange jars on counter and dole out the spices to each. Pack the cucumber slices firmly into the jars. You don’t want to damage the cukes, but you do want them packed tight.
Pour the brine into the jar, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
Pop the jars into the fridge once they’re cool.
Makes approximately 8 pints (total yield varies depending on size of cucumbers).
