Grandma's Refrigerator Pickles

After spending time with my grandparents in the summer and enjoying my Grandma's homemade dishes, I decided to ask her how she makes them taste so delicious. I ate some of her homemade pickles and she shared the recipe with me.

Grandma's Refrigerator Pickles

Crunchy, with a sweet and sour pickle taste. Great condiment to add to any dish.  

Prep Time: 15 min

Cook Time: 15 min

Ingredients

• 8 c unpeeled cucumbers (washed and sliced)
• 1 or 1 1/3 c chopped onions

• 1 or 1 1/3 c vinegar

Baking Instructions

1. Combine the cucumbers, onions, peppers, and salt all together in a pan. Let it set for about 4 hours. Pour off the liquid.
2. Then mix the sugar, vinegar, and celery seed together in a medium bowl. Tip: Warm the vinegar to melt the sugar, but do not boil it.
3. Add the sugar-vinegar mixture to the cucumbers and place in canning jars and refrigerate.
4. Enjoy!

Note: Use 1 cup measurements for a small batch. For making more jars of pickles, add 1/3 cup more to each ingredient above.
