There’s no hiding the fact that we are hooked on pickles–we love sweet pickles, spicy pickles, sour pickles . . . you name it. It’s a good thing we like to make them as much as we like to eat them. Our version of icebox pickles is a quick pickle that is a good introduction to get you into pickling too.

Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cups distilled white vinegar
  • 1⅓ cups water
  • 4 teaspoons<

Method

In a quart jar or other container with a lid, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.

Add the cucumbers, onion, garlic, pickling spice, and red pepper flakes and stir well; make sure the cucumbers are submerged. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours before digging in.

Store the pickles in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
