2 Day Refrigerator Pickle Recipe

2 Day Pickles

A bunch of pickling cucumbers arrived from the Lancaster Farm Fresh CSA.  Taking a look at some of the pickle recipes, canning and waiting two weeks for pickles sounded like too much work and wait.  So I thought I'd try my own two day recipe, and it turned out much better than I thought, with no cooking.

Two Day Pickle Recipe

For the pickling mixture:

• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp whole allspice
• 2 tbsp dill
• 2 tbsp mustard seed
• Add up to 1/2 cup water to cover pickles

Quarter the cucumbers and add to the pickling mixture.  Keep in the refrigerator, but don't taste them until at least two days have passed, preferably three or four because they might taste a little bitter.
