Super Easy Frig Pickles


From CSA Member Joseph Cantor

Ingredients:

- 2 cups cold water
- filtered or bottled is best

- 1/3 cup white wine vinegar (avoid balsamic or other vinegars, they just don’t work as 
well)

- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp pickling/Canning salt
- a handful of peppercorns

- ground pepper to taste

- 3 cloves garlic chopped rough

- Several sprigs of fresh dill

- Canning jars or mason jars or even plastic zip
-top bags



Preparation:

1. Mix water, vinegar, salt and sugar in a bowl. Make sure the sugar and salt is mostly 
dissolved

2. Wash and slice 2 medium sized cucumbers (or 1 really large one)

3. Arrange cucumber slices in your container of choice (I like to use canning jars)
4. Add liquid from above and a portion of the peppercorns, ground pepper, garlic and dill 
to each container

5. Refrigerate

. The pickles will be ready to begin eating the next day if you like mild flavor, otherwise 
the flavor will intesify each day you leave them in the frig.



Variations:
Feel free to add other spices to the mix, such as red pepper flakes for a 
spicy pickle, Basil or even cloves make for interesting flavors as well.
