Provided by Sue Moran

Categories     Pickles

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Vidalia onion
1 cup mild white vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 bay leaves
2 tsp pink peppercorns
1 tsp yellow mustard seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds

Steps:

  • Peel and very thinly slice the onion. I like to use my mandoline set on the 1/8 inch setting. If your rings are very large, you can slice them in half.
  • Heat the vinegar, water, and spices in a saucepan until it comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the sliced onions, giving everything a stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes, then pack the onions into a wide mouthed pint sized mason jar. Pour the liquid, including spices, over the onions. Make sure the onions are completely submerged, if you need more liquid, add a bit more vinegar. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate.
  • Plan to use within a month or so.

AUTHENTIC AMISH REFRIGERATOR PICKLES RECIPE - (4/5)



Authentic Amish Refrigerator Pickles Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by cooksalot

Number Of Ingredients 8

Liquid:
6 cups cucumbers, sliced
1 cup green pepper, sliced
1 cup onion, sliced
1 cup cider vinegar
2 cup white sugar
1 tsp celery seed
2 Tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Slice the veggies into 2 quart jars, I like to make layers of them: you can leave out the onions and peppers, if you want, but they are so good! Mix your other ingredients in a large measuring cup, stir well. The sugar will not be dissolved yet. Pour over sliced vegetables, evenly in each jar. You will finish filling the jars with cold tap water. I shake the jar a few times during the 24 hrs to mix. No need to cook it, ready to eat in 24 hours. Taste best if eaten within a week or two, but I like to add tomato wedges or slices to this liquid for overnight, when it is close to empty of veggies, use the next day, unbelievable with sandwiches I have also pickled hot peppers using a batch of this same liquid~They are delicious!

DEB'S BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES



Deb's Bread and Butter Pickles image

This pickle recipe was handed down to me. I have been making these for at least 20 years from cucumbers my Dad grows in his garden. I give them to friends and family and have trouble keeping up with the orders. The recipe is the star here as these are the best bread and butter pickles I've ever found. These don't need to be refrigerated until you open a jar.

Time P14DT3h30m

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 quarts water
½ cup salt
20 cucumbers, cut into 1/8-inch slices
ice cubes
6 cups white sugar
4 cups water
4 cups apple cider vinegar
4 teaspoons ground turmeric
4 teaspoons mustard seed
1 teaspoon celery seed

Steps:

  • Stir 2 quarts water and salt in a large pot until salt is dissolved. Submerge cucumbers in the water. Add ice to the water to keep cold. Let cucumbers soak for 2 hours.
  • Drain salt water from pot. Rinse and drain cucumber slices twice.
  • Stir sugar, 4 cups water, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, mustard seed, and celery seed together in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; add cucumber slices. Simmer until the cucumbers are completely hot, but do not bring to a boil, about 10 minutes.

Run a knife or a 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.
  • Let cucumbers pickle 2 weeks before eating, shaking each jar once daily.
