Spicy Sweet Refrigerator Pickles
(Makes enough to pickle about 1 lb of vegetables)
6 pickling cucumbers
1¼ cup water
¾ cup white vinegar
¼ cup sugar
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 tblsp salt
1/2 tblsp pickling spice
¾ tsp dill seed
½ tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 springs of fresh dill
NOTES: I love mixing the baby peeled carrots with thick slices of pickling cucumber - great to snack on!
Mix all ingredients well, until the sugar dissolves, except cucumbers. When sugar has dissolved add in the cucumbers.
After a day they should be ready depending on how you like them. Keeping them in their liquid for many weeks, if you can wait that long to eat them!
