REFRIGERATOR SWEET DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, celery seed, and garlic in a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolves. Turn off the heat and allow to cool.
• Meanwhile, mix cucumbers, onion, and dill in a bowl. Stir together and pack into mason jars (I used two).
• When the liquid is cool, pour over cucumber mixture in jars until completely full. Shake to combine well.
• Refrigerate for at least one day- three days ideally!

SLIGHTLY SWEET DILL REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

Steps:

• Divide sliced onion between two 1-quart wide-mouth glass jars. Pack cucumber slices horizontally in jars. Top each jar with dill.
• Using mortar and pestle or resealable plastic bag and mallet, crush mustard seeds and peppercorns together. Place crushed spices in medium saucepan. Add vinegar, 1 cup water, sugar, coarse salt, and dill seeds. Bring mixture to boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.

SLICED, SPICED AND ICED REFRIGERATOR SWEET DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• Evenly divide the garlic, fresh dill and sliced cucumbers among four wide mouthed pint jars.
• Before adding the mustard seed, red pepper flakes, peppercorns(if using) and dill seed, crush them slightly. You can use your hands, a mortar and pestle, or give then one quick whiz in the food processor(optional).
• In a saucepan, mix together vinegar, water, sugar, red pepper flakes, celery seed, salt, mustard seed and dill seed. Heat to just dissolve sugar, then remove and let cool. Use a funnel to fill each jar with the cooled brining liquid. The spices may float to the bottom, so use a spoon to evenly divide anything that is leftover into the jars. Cap tightly and refrigerate at least one week before eating. Enjoy!
• It was suggested you do this over a large bowl. The cucumbers start to float and displace liquid. Add the overflow back into the brining mixture before you fill up the next jar. No mess! :).
