Nothin' Sweet About These Spicy Refrigerator Pickles

Servings:

There is nothin' sweet about these spicy refrigerator pickles; they are genuinely piquant pickles that will satisfy those of us who have a loose sweet tooth. I have been looking for a truly flavorful pickle recipe, not sweet, but not just spicy. The key is the variety of ingredients, not just cutting down on the sugar. Only 24 hours in the refrigerator, and they're ready for snacking. Pucker up!

  2. 2 Cut cucumbers into even-sized spears; pack into a 1-liter, large-mouthed glass jar. Add onion slices, dill sprigs, and garlic. Pour in cooled vinegar mixture to completely cover cucumbers; seal with a lid. Refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.
