No Cook Refrigerator Dill Pickles could become your favorite way to use up all the cucumbers you grow in the summertime. Making these tangy, crunchy delights is easy.
You won't believe how easy it is to make these Refrigerator Dill Pickles.
No Cook Refrigerator Dill Pickles are simple to make.
I made them in about 30 minutes. It's the waiting that will make you whine. You can eat them in 24 hours, but it's best to wait about 4 days or more. The longer they mature, the better the flavor. When I make them, I make a half-gallon of them because, like any pickle, they will last for months. And they only have 7 ingredients. Well, 8 if you like garlic dills. And I do.
I decided to make a three of kinds of pickles this week, Refrigerator Dill Pickles, Grandma's No Cook Refrigerator Pickles (kind of a bread and butter pickle), and Elizabeth's Recycled Pickles. It's not cucumber season yet, so they can be expensive. And we're in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic so who knows what will be available? My plan this year is to grow my own cucumbers.
Make Sure You Have All the Ingredients
I put 20 cucumbers on the shopping list; Don went off to buy our 10-day supply of produce. He found the cucumbers—small, young cucumbers, sold in packages of 6—and bought 6 packages. Then when he got to the vinegar aisle, guess what? Yup. No vinegar. But I ran to the local store and they had gallons of white distilled vinegar so I picked up a gallon.
What You Need
You will need a half-gallon jar with a tight cover (or smaller jars to fit the amount of pickles), a knife, cutting board, measuring spoons, measuring cups, and a 4-cup glass measuring cup. I find the small and large Pampered Chef batter bowls indispensable in my kitchen.
