REFRIGERATOR SWEET PICKLES

Steps:

• Place dill, garlic, and onion in a large mason jar. Fill jar to top with cucumbers.

SWEET REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

Steps:

• Combine cucumber slices and salt in a heatproof bowl and set aside for 90 minutes.
• Place cucumbers in a sieve and wash well under running cold water. Drain well, return cucumbers to the bowl, and add onion.
• Combine white sugar, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve sugar, about 3 minutes. Pour liquid over cucumbers and let stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Transfer cucumbers and liquid to a container with a tight-fitting lid, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.

FRIED PICKLES AND ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a large, heavy saucepot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Line one baking sheet with paper towels; line a second baking sheet with parchment; and set a rack over a third baking sheet.
• Cut the ends off the onions and peel the skin. Slice the onions crosswise into three rounds, then separate into rings.
• Place the dill pickle chips on the paper-towel-lined baking sheet, cover with more paper towels and dry well.
• Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the buttermilk and whisk to combine. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
• Toss the onions rings in the seasoned flour; coat well. Then dip the onion rings in the buttermilk mixture. Dredge the onion rings a second time in the flour and again in the buttermilk (for a double dredge). Toss the onion rings in the breadcrumbs and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Use the same double-dredge process--flour, buttermilk, flour, buttermilk, panko--for the pickle chips.
• In batches, fry the onion rings until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove to the rack to rest. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
• Fry the pickle chips until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to the rack and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately.

SWEET PICKLE RELISH

Steps:

• Combine cucumbers, onions, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in a large bowl; add salt and pour in enough cold water to cover. Allow to soak for 2 hours. Thoroughly drain in a colander.
• Pour vinegar into a large, heavy stainless steel pot; add celery seed and mustard seed. Stir sugar into mixture and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the drained vegetable mixture and return to a boil, about 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
