SLICED, SPICED AND ICED REFRIGERATOR SWEET DILL PICKLES
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!

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! :).

- 1. Put in large jar, crock or enamel pan. Stir up, cover and let stand 4-5 days. Stir everyday. Put in fridge after 4-5 days. enjoy
Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: Use pickling or Kirby cucumbers for best results. These varieties are firm and have a thin skin, making them ideal for pickling.
- Slice the cucumbers evenly: This will help them pickle evenly. If you have a mandoline, use it to get perfectly uniform slices. Otherwise, use a sharp knife and try to make the slices as even as possible.
- Use a clean jar: Make sure the jar you use for pickling is clean and sterilized. This will help prevent the pickles from spoiling.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Pay attention to the measurements and instructions in the recipe. This will help you get the best results.
- Be patient: Pickling takes time. Allow the pickles to rest in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before eating them. This will give them time to develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
Sweet refrigerator pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for summer picnics, potlucks, or just as a refreshing treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these pickles all summer long.
