ICE CREAM PAIL REFRIGERATOR PICKLES
The method and proportions make this recipe a bit different. Allowing the salted vegetables to sit for a few hours draws out the water and allows the cucumbers to stay crisp and crunchy, just how we like them. The pickled cucumbers will keep in the fridge at least a month or two, but I can't say exactly how long.....they never last that long!!! Recipe from my late Mother-in-Law.

Steps:
- Peel and slice cucumbers thinly, filling ice cream pail as you go to 3/4 full.
- Mix with the additional vegetables and stir in salt, distributing well.
- Cover and let stand 2 - 4 hours on counter.
- Drain off the liquid (I like to rinse and drain again to remove some of the salt).
- In ice cream pail combine brine ingredients and stir well. Do not worry if the sugar doesn't dissolve completely - it will on its own.
- Mix in cucumbers and other vegetables, cover, and refrigerate.
- The next day stir again.
- Note: The brine won't cover the cucumbers completely at first so stir once a day. The cucumbers will release additional liquid over time.
- Cooking time is standing time.
ICEBOX PICKLES
This is a wonderful sweet pickle recipe I got from my mother, who got it from a relative, who got it from a relative, and so on. It is very easy, a little time-consuming, delicious, and makes a lot of pickles. The recipe says to put them in jars, but I just store them in a clean gallon-sized ice cream bucket. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to a year.

DILL & GARLIC REFRIGERATOR PICKLES BY THE BUCKET-FULL
This is a recipe that I've already requested twice, so I'm posting it to avoid losing it. My husband's best friend's mother makes them every summer and everyone just loves them. She makes them in ice cream pails. I prefer to make them in large jars (like the gallon jars that commercial pickles come in for restaurant use). The pickled onions taste great too! My husband and step-daughter used to fight over them! My dad's wife loves to use the pickles and the onions together on buttered bread for a pickle sandwich! I saw some similar recipes that claimed to be ready earlier, but noticed most didn't have any sugar. These aren't sweet like bread and butter pickles. We have snitched some from the jar earlier than a week, and they were good, but the best flavor is after a week or two. If your cucumbers aren't producing fast enough to make the whole batch, you can refrigerate the extra brine until you have more cucumbers, and then just reheat before using. I've tried these with sliced pickles, but I felt they ended up too sour to be used as hamburger dills, at least for my taste. I think they're best as spears or, if you're using small cucumbers, left whole.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables for a more flavorful pickle. Some good options include cucumbers, carrots, onions, peppers, and cauliflower.
- Choose a brine that complements the vegetables you are using. For example, a sweet brine is good for cucumbers, while a sour brine is good for onions.
