SWEET DILL REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

REFRIGERATOR SWEET DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, celery seed, and garlic in a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolves. Turn off the heat and allow to cool.
• Meanwhile, mix cucumbers, onion, and dill in a bowl. Stir together and pack into mason jars (I used two).
• When the liquid is cool, pour over cucumber mixture in jars until completely full. Shake to combine well.
• Refrigerate for at least one day- three days ideally!

• Drain pickles and slice into 1/4 inch pieces. Place in a medium bowl with 2 cups sugar. Stir, cover and allow to stand at room temperature 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.

HOMEMADE SWEET DILL YUM-YUM PICKLES

Steps:

• Slice the washed pickles into about 1/4 to 1/3-inch slices, then place in a medium bowl.
• Pour 2 cups sugar over the slices and toss/stir to coat with the pickle slices.
• Allow to sit out at room temperature for 24 hours tossing several times with a spoon during the 24 hours (I just leave a spoon in the bowl, juice will gather in the bowl, do not drain!).
• After the 24 hours (do not drain the juice in the bowl) in a medium saucepan combine 2 cups sugar, vinegar, water, pickling spice; bring to a boil over medium heat stirring until the sugar is dissolved (about 2 minutes).
• Make certain that the bowl is Pyrex or heat-proof or it might crack when you pour the boiling water into it -- pour the water mixture over the sugared pickles and the sugar juice that has gathered in the bowl; mix very well with a spoon.
• Allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for about 8 hours or overnight.
• Drain pickles (you don't have to completely drain).
• Transfer pickles to clean glass jars and store covered or uncovered in refrigerator.
• Serve cold.

GRANDMA'S DO-OVER PICKLES (AKA SWEET DILL PICKLES)

Steps:

• Drain all existing juice from pickles, cut pickles in chunks & return to jar after washing jar in hot water. Boil the sugar & vinegar until sugar dissolves & liquid is clear.
• Pour juice over pickles, put lid on & let the pickles set for a while, the lid should "pop" (the lid should seal just like regular canning). Jar should be hot when you refill with the hot liquid.
• After the jar cools store in refrigerator - give it a few days and then enjoy @ your leisure.
