Recipes and Health Articles Refrigerator Pickles Uses cucumbers, onions, vinegar and spices, all from the co-op
Author: Unknown
Total Time: 20 min + 4 day wait Yield: 2 quarts
Description This is my favorite pickle recipe because it requires no canning, can be scaled up or down, and the pickles will last a year in the fridge (but they usually get eaten before then). It is on a frayed piece of paper printed out years ago, and I think it was from a family member, but can’t credit it. You need 2 glass quart jars with lids, or 1 half gallon jar, and if you rise the jars with boiling water before you make the pickles, it helps.
Ingredients 2 pounds cucumbers-enough to fill the jars 2 -3 onions 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seed 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar 1 1/2 cups of sugar (you can use less without affecting much) 1 1/2 teaspoons tumeric 1 TBSP celery salt 1/4 C canning salt (NOT iodized)
Instructions Slice cucumbers and onions thin. Place in layers in the jar, enough to make the jar nearly full (leave an inch at the top).Combine the remaining ingredients, and stir well until sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the cucumbers and onions.Screw the lids down and place in the refrigerator. For 4 days, remove the jars every day and invert several times to mix. They can be eaten immediately on the 5th day, but are best after 2 weeks in the fridge with occasional mixing.
