Anna’s Refrigerator Pickles

Recipe Introduction


Excellent refrigerator pickles. And VERY different from the marinated cucumbers that my family and I have been making forever. These are so good that I think they will be in an alternating rotation with those pickles all spring and summer! [My notes are in brackets].


List of Ingredients




2 whole cucumbers (be sure there's no wax residue on the peels!) [I used English cucumbers]
2 cloves garlic
1 c. vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
1 c. water
1/3c sugar
1 T. salt
1 t. dried dill
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 pinch coriander
6 whole peppercorns


Recipe



Slice cucumbers in 1/8" to 1/4" slices [I used a mandolin – SO easy and fast]. Cut garlic cloves in quarters, then smash them a bit. Put the cucumber slices and garlic in a bowl or large jar.

Bring the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, dill, red pepper flakes, coriander, and peppercorns to a boil in a small saucepan until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour over the cucumbers and garlic. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
