Refrigerator Pickles

I planted 2 cucumber plants in my garden this year never knowing that they would yeild more than 50 cucumbers. I don't eat them and Jake can only eat so many on his own. I have given many away but decided to make pickles with some of them. I found the following recipe online & added a few more ingredients to make them a bit more to my liking. They are so easy to make & so delicious. The recipe is as follows.

Refrigerator Pickles

1 C distilled white vinegar

1 T kosher salt

2 C white sugar

1 tsp celery seed

1 tsp mustard seed

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp dried dill

6 C sliced cucumbers

1 C sliced vidalia onion

1 C sliced red pepper

1-2 finely minced fresh hot chili peppers (seeds removed)

In a saucepan heat vinegar, salt & sugar to a boil & boil for a few minutes till sugar is disolved. Remove from heat & add celery seed, mustard seed, garlic powder & dill.

Place the remaining ingredients in a large bowl & pour the vinegar/spice mixture over. Mix together & let stand for 30 minutes.

Transfer to sterile containers and store in refrigerator.

Enjoy !!!
