SLICED, SPICED AND ICED REFRIGERATOR SWEET DILL PICKLES

Sliced, Spiced and Iced Refrigerator Sweet Dill Pickles image

Feeling a little lazy and not wanting to can, I was looking for a good recipe for chilled dill pickles, but couldn't quite find the exact recipe I wanted so I have adapted a recipe from Group Recipes and Epicurious to fit my needs. It's slightly sweet with the lovely taste of dill. I hope this fits your needs too! :) Cooking time is marinating time. Thank you for the inspiration coconutlime and Amelia Saltsman!

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs small pickling cucumbers, sliced 1/4-1/2-inch thick (or regular cucumbers-may cut into spears also)
4 garlic cloves, sliced
4 sprigs fresh dill (optional)
2 cups cold water
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dill seed
2 cups white distilled vinegar
1 cup sugar (or 1 1/2 cups depending on sweetness you desire)
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less depending on heat level you desire)
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn (optional)

Steps:

Evenly divide the garlic, fresh dill and sliced cucumbers among four wide mouthed pint jars.
Before adding the mustard seed, red pepper flakes, peppercorns(if using) and dill seed, crush them slightly. You can use your hands, a mortar and pestle, or give then one quick whiz in the food processor(optional).
In a saucepan, mix together vinegar, water, sugar, red pepper flakes, celery seed, salt, mustard seed and dill seed. Heat to just dissolve sugar, then remove and let cool. Use a funnel to fill each jar with the cooled brining liquid. The spices may float to the bottom, so use a spoon to evenly divide anything that is leftover into the jars. Cap tightly and refrigerate at least one week before eating. Enjoy!
It was suggested you do this over a large bowl. The cucumbers start to float and displace liquid. Add the overflow back into the brining mixture before you fill up the next jar. No mess! :).

These pickles are the perfect way to use up extra cucumbers. I always have a few cucumbers left over from my garden, and these pickles are a great way to use them up.
