re: Pickling for beginners

Refrigerator pickles are super easy, and worth trying, especially if you like Clausen dill. Slice or spear the cucumbers, add pickling spices (I like the Red Stick Spice versions) to a jar, then pack the jar with the cucumbers and add a 50/50 mix of boiled water and vinegar with some sea salt dissolved in it. Let the whole thing cool and pop in the fridge. You'll be tempted to try it out the next day, but wait a week plus.

I made my first batch about a month ago. Well, started it. I have some old family recipes that have been preserved in small town church cookbooks. I made my great aunt's 14 day sweet pickles. It looks tedious, but really you do nothing for 7 days, and days 8-14 just involve a little boiling and dumping back into a large container. I used my crock pot insert. Last year I did pickled okra, and will be doing that again since those seem to grow really well in my garden. The cucumbers surprised me this year. I had maybe a half dozen last year, but I've already picked about 5-6 dozen this year, and had to do something with them.
