Refrigerator pickles …. mmmm

Standard

what does harvest time mean in your house?  this year for us it’s lots of fresh veggies!  now I’m trying to figure out how to use them and save them so they don’t go to waste!  my first project today was spicy refrigerator pickles.

i found this recipe in one of my mom’s old southern cookbooks and thought i’d give it a try!  enjoy!

Refrigerator Pickles

1 cup bell pepper, chopped      4 tbsp celery seed

1 cup white vinegar 1 cup onions, chopped

2 cups sugar                             7 cups cucumbers, sliced

2 tbsp salt

Mix all ingredients, put in a large container, I used an ice cream bucket. Cover and refrigerate for 4-5 days before eating.  We love spicy food in our house, so i added a few habanero peppers and a small amount of peppercorns.
