Refrigerator Garden Pickles
Canning isn't necessary for these crisp-tender, tangy pickles. Keep them in the fridge and eat them up within a month. —Linda Chapman, Meriden, Iowa

These are so good and easy to make. They are nice and crunchy and I like crunchy pickles! Next time I make them I am going to add a couple of mild hot peppers.
These were quick and easy to prepare and have a fresh sweet pickle taste -- a great way to use up some of my garden cucumbers! I made the recipe as directed, except I added several sliced garlic cloves. Everyone loved these, and I will definitely be making them again!

Very delicious, easy to prepare, and looked beautiful in the jars. I cut the recipe in half, and used a bit less sugar. I let them sit in the fridge for one week, and they were delicious! I'll definitely make them again, but next time I'll omit the 'celery seed' and the 'mustard seed', but I'll use 'pickling spice' instead (since it contains a little more 'pickling' spices, and will add even more flavor to this already delicious recipe.) I'll also add some fresh dill into the jars before closing them.
This was easy and everyone loved them will make over and over again
This is so yummy! Great for eating alone, topping burgers, hot dogs, you name it! One of our church cookbooks has the same recipe in it. I figured the veggies would soak up more of the liquid than it did so we saved the liquid & are going to make this again, since its a lot of sugar. Just re-boil it & immerse veggies again. Next time, we want to add more cucumbers & less of some of the other veggies. Because there's so much liquid, you probably could add more veggies than recipe calls for.
i make a very similar pickle with lots of sliced hot peppers, whole garlic to taste. the sweet hot combo is very good
