REFRIGERATOR GARLIC DILL SPEARS

Steps:

• Divide garlic, dill, and peppercorns between 2 clean quart jars. Wash cucumbers and trim away blossom ends. Cut each into 6 to 8 spears. Pack spears vertically and snugly into jars.
• Stir together vinegar, water, and salt in a small nonreactive pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir and reduce heat, if necessary, until salt dissolves. Remove from heat. Pour or ladle hot brine into jars, covering cucumbers and leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Tap jars gently to remove any air bubbles. Add more brine if necessary to leave 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel.
• Let cool completely to room temperature, about 1 hour. Apply clean lids. Refrigerate at least 48 hours before eating for best flavor. (Flavor improves with time.) Store in refrigerator up to 1 month.

REFRIGERATOR GARLIC PICKLES

Steps:

• Wash the mason jar and lid in hot soapy water, rinse, and let air dry.
• Quarter the cucumbers into four slices each, lengthwise. Cut the garlic cloves in half.
• In an extra mason jar or covered container, combine 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt and 2/3 cup white vinegar. Tightly close the lid and shake vigorously until the sugar and salt dissolve. Add 1 cup water to the mixture.
• In the clean mason jar, tightly pack the sliced cucumbers, sliced garlic, and 8 sprigs of fresh dill.
• Pour the brine mixture over the cucumbers. Tap the jar on the counter to release any air bubbles and top off the jar with extra water if any cucumbers are exposed.
• Place the lid on the jar and screw on the ring until it is tight. Leave the jar in the fridge for 24 hours before tasting. The pickles last up to one month refrigerated (but they won't stick around that long in our house).

REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

Steps:

• Slice cucumbers into slices about 1/4" thick, or into spears. Gather glass jars and lids. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, add water, vinegar, salt and sugar (if using), and heat, stirring occasionally, over MED HIGH heat until sugar and salt have dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• While brine is cooling, add cucumbers to jars. Make sure to leave enough room for the brine and other ingredients.
• Add dill, garlic, mustard seed, black peppercorns, red pepper flakes and celery seed.
• Pour in enough brine to cover the cucumbers, making sure to leave a 1/2" or so at the top. Seal jars to be airtight.
• Refrigerate for at least 5 days. Pickles will last 4-6 weeks after those 5 days, but will lose some of their crispness towards the end of their "shelf" life.

REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

Steps:

• Add cucumber, onion, and garlic to a large bowl. Sprinkle with dill seed and salt, then mix well (alternately you could layer directly into your mason jar).
• Pack mixture into mason jars. Pour vinegar into jar until it is about 1/4 - 1/3rd full. Fill remainder of the jar with water, screw on cap (tightly!) and give it a good shake. Taste your brine (no, SERIOUSLY) - this is your opportunity to make adjustments!
• Refrigerate overnight, then enjoy! (These will keep for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator, but I seriously doubt they will last that long.)
