Easy Refrigerator Pickles
Lightly pickled cucumbers. A great snack that involves no cooking and only 2 days in the fridge to season. The flavor variations are endless.
All you need is:
Cucumber spears. This amount of liquid is good for about 2-3 cukes.
2 cups cold water.
1/3 cup white wine vinegar - you can change this to suit your taste.
1 tablespoon salt. Table salt or sea salt.
2 teaspoons sugar.
5 whole peppercorns - fresh.
fresh ground pepper (from a grinder is best).
1-2 cloves garlic.
optional flavor additions: fresh dill, jalapeno pepper, onion, habanero pepper, etc.
and a container to put them in. I use Tupperware modular mates. They're big enough to hold an entire batch.

1. Slice cukes in half crosswise. Then cut each half into 8 spears.
2.Peel and cut up garlic.
3.In a bowl, mix the water, salt, vinegar, ground pepper, and whole peppercorns.
4. Put the cukes in whatever you're going to store them in. Add the liquid, garlic, and any other additions you might want.
5. This is the hard part. Put them in the refrigerator for at least two days. The longer you leave them, the more flavorful they become.
So yummy! Enjoy!
