Visiting Wisconsin, my mother-in-law Lois served Refrigerator Pickles with our sandwiches one day. I asked if they were sweet (I don't like sweet pickles) and she replied, "They're sweet and tart." Not wanting to be rude, I had to try them - and was pleasantly surprised - delicious! Then she shared the recipe with me and I thought, well I've never canned before but I can make these!
Lois' Refrigerator Pickles
12 cucumbers, thinly sliced
2 bell (green) peppers, bite-sized chopped
4 small onions, thinly sliced
2 cups sugar
2 cups white, distilled vinegar
1/4 cup pickling salt
(Note: I had to double the sugar, vinegar and salt to cover all the veggies - cucs I used were huge!)
Directions:
1. Place veggies in a big bowl or container and cover with ice; leave sitting on counter for 2 hours
These were fun to make and super duper easy! And they'll keep in the refrigerator for at least six months. Hope you'll try them and let me know if you like!
