Quick Refrigerator Dill Pickles Recipes

QUICK & EASY REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, salt and sugar in a small non-reactive saucepan (such as stainless steel, glass, ceramic or teflon) over high heat. Whisk until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Transfer the liquid into a bowl and whisk in the cold water. Refrigerate brine until ready to use.
• Stuff the cucumbers into two clean 1-quart jars. Add the coriander seeds, garlic cloves, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, dill sprigs, and chilled brine into jars, dividing evenly. If necessary, add a bit of cold water to the jars until the brine covers the cucumbers. Cover and refrigerate about 24 hours, then serve. The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to one month.

QUICK REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut a thin sliver off of the flower end of each cucumber.
• Leave the cucumbers whole if they are small, or cut lengthwise into spears if big.
• Bring the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar or honey to a boil. Stir once or twice to dissolve the salt and sugar. Let cool to room temperature or place the brine into the refrigerator to speed up the process.
• Place the garlic cloves and one of the grape leaves, if using, into the bottom of a clean glass quart jar (or split garlic and leaves into two pint-sized jars).
• Pack the cucumbers vertically into the jar(s), adding the remaining spices and herbs as you do so. Be sure to pack the cucumbers in tightly so that they will not float up out of the brine.
• Pour the cooled brine over cucumbers, being sure to completely cover with liquid.
• Secure the lid and place jar(s) in the refrigerator. The pickles will be ready to eat in 4 days.

• Bring the vinegar, 1 1/2 cups water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the salt is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, place the peppercorns, red pepper flakes, dill and garlic in a 1-quart Mason (or other glass) jar. Pack the cucumbers in the jar as tightly as possible.
• Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers so the cucumbers are completely submerged. Leave uncovered and allow to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 day before using. The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

NOT-TOO-SOUR REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

Steps:

• Fit as many cucumber spears as possible into a 1-quart mason jar along with the dill, garlic, mustard, salt and sugar. Combine the vinegar with 2 cups water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Pour the hot mixture into the jar with the cucumbers (you may have some left over) and swirl gently to combine (be careful; the jar will be hot). Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate at least overnight and preferably 2 days. The pickles keep, refrigerated, up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Clean the cucumbers well and then snip off the ends. Then cut into either spears or thin rounds. Stuff the cucumbers into two clean 1-quart glass jars. Divide the garlic, dill, bay leaves, coriander, peppercorns, mustard seeds and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) between both jars and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water, salt and sugar. Set over moderate heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Remove from heat and cool down to room temperature.
• Once cooled, pour the mixture between both jars up to the very top. Seal tightly and place in the fridge for at least 1 week or up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Cut the cucumbers into 1-inch-square chunks, and place in a heat-proof bowl with 12 to 15 sprigs of dill. Set aside.
• Place peppercorns, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until salt and sugar dissolve, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and pour hot mixture over reserved cucumbers. Let stand 30 to 40 minutes, and serve.
