Pickles!

August 2, 2007 By Carole

We had a bumper share of cucumbers from the CSA this week so when I got home from work yesterday I decided to try making refrigerator pickles.

I took my inspiration from a recipe at Coconut & Lime but then I sort of made it my own. I used the jar that I usually make pickled eggs in and quartered up all the cucumbers and threw them into it.

Then I added 8 cloves of sliced garlic, a few handfuls of pickling spice, some salt and lots of fresh dill. I filled the jar halfway with water and then filled it the rest of the way with white vinegar.

Don’t they look pretty in the sunlight?

Now they are tucked away in the fridge. These were super easy to make. The hard part is going to be waiting a week until they are ready to eat!

    Refrigerator pickles are the best without the hassles of canning. They look scrumptious and yes waiting the full week is the hardest part! Now I know what I’m going to do with my pickles from farmer’s market this week. Enjoy.

    Those look yummy! I can’t wait to hear how they taste.

    My mother made THE best dill pickles. I haven’t eaten one since she died. Yours do look good!

    I often regret not getting Grandma’s refrigerator pickle recipe from her before she died. I did get hold of her recipe box long enough to copy things but alas that was not in it. Hers were just overnight and they were sort of sweet, a bit like a bread and butter pickle. Yours look delicious!

  6. Rachel says

    Yum! I’ve been on a quick pickle kick, too. I’m going to have to check into the recipe you used.

  7. Kim says

    August 2, 2007 at 8:28 am

    They look delicious! How long do pickles like that keep in the fridge?

  8. Vicki says

    August 2, 2007 at 8:34 am

    Okay, it’s Food Day in Blogland and I didn’t get the memo, right?
    ; )
    They look delicious, Carole, and I’ll be looking forward to your follow-up taste-test report next week!

    I made pickles this week too! Our cucumber plant has been producing like crazy. Enjoy!

    Oh
    My
    Gawd!
    Is it really THAT easy? You are a goddess, thank you for that recipe. I never knew it was so simple. And anything that uses 8 (EIGHT!) cloves of garlic is just right for me.

  11. Jessica says

    August 2, 2007 at 9:25 am

    Wow! That’s looks pretty simple. I had no idea. And I *love* pickles. I may be looking for cucumbers at the farmer’s market this weekend….

  12. Kate says

    August 2, 2007 at 9:27 am

    Oh… now I want a pickle. You stink.
    I thought my food cravings for the week were over. thank god pickles are “no points” on weight watchers!

    I might have to try these “at home” pickles…I usually grab mine from the kosher deli…. mmmm sour pickles.
    once again, you stink. lol

  13. amanda says

    August 2, 2007 at 9:32 am

    an entire week? isn’t that just cruel and unusual punishment?

    they look fab carole!

  14. Erin says

    August 2, 2007 at 9:46 am

    Those look so easy to make! I bet they’re going to be yummy!

  15. Deb says

    August 2, 2007 at 10:07 am

    Yum. If i remember correctly, it will be harder for Dale to wait out the week for the tasting?

  16. Robin in VA says

    August 2, 2007 at 10:27 am

    Very nice…and they look so yummy!

  17. Imbrium says

  18. Teresa says

    August 2, 2007 at 11:16 am

    Oooo…My grandma made pickles. My cousin and I would sneak into her pantry and open up jars of pickles and eat them. She hasn’t made pickles in a long time. So..all we have now is lefse.

    yum yum, when can I try one?

  20. Macoco says

    That just made my mouth water.

  21. Beth says

    August 2, 2007 at 12:08 pm

    Aah! I just realized I forgot to send you the pickle recipe. I’m so sorry. Your pickles look delicious!

  22. michelle says

    August 2, 2007 at 1:19 pm

    Yummy! Now that’s something I have to try out myself.

  23. Meadow says

    August 2, 2007 at 1:23 pm

    Ooh yum, and sounds so easy, I may have to try it!

  24. Lynne says

    August 2, 2007 at 1:29 pm

    Those looks so yummy! Now I’ll have to make some. We love pickles – especially Sour Dills.

  25. Paula says

    August 2, 2007 at 1:43 pm

    Only a week! My kids are so mad at me that we have to wait 4 weeks before we can eat the pickles we made. I wasn’t sure about doing refrigerator pickles, which would be shorter. I didn’t know if they would still be more “cucumber-tasting”. DH doesn’t like cucumbers, but does like pickles. This is my first year making pickles. We were getting too many for us to just eat in salads or for snacks. We got 4 pints of dill spears last week and made 6 jars of sweet pickle chips this week.

    MMMM… my mouth is watering just looking at your photos!

    You are a goddess among women. There is nothing better than home-made pickles.

  28. Chris says

    Mmmm… *crunch crunch crunch* I’m sure you won’t notice that I snuck a few out. 😉

    If only I weren’t the only pickle eater in the house… Those look delish!

  30. Tina says

    August 2, 2007 at 4:41 pm

    Wow – your pickles look/sound amazing! I was pleasantly surprised to taste our CSA cukes and find them sweeter and more flavorful than any I’d ever had before. Of course we only got 2, not several million…

  31. Lucia says

    August 2, 2007 at 5:16 pm

    Mmm, I adore pickles, which of course the DFH does not allow. I want a full report so I can live vicariously.

  32. --Deb says

    August 2, 2007 at 6:19 pm

    Very cool . . . come to think of it, I’ve never tried making pickles….

  33. Susan says

    Pickles! Yummy!

  34. Kathleen says

    yum

  35. Julie says

    August 3, 2007 at 8:24 am

    YUMMY – I love pickles! Waiting a week would definitely be the hardest part for me too.

  36. Teyani says

    August 3, 2007 at 9:45 am

    I want me some of those pickles!…. I figure by the time I drive over there, they should be done.

  37. Jennifer says

    They look delicious! I’ve never made pickles, but if it’s easy…
