Pickles are among our favorite snacks in the Compter-Kalkman household. This Alton Brown recipe for refrigerator pickles (with a few adjustments) has been a hit here in Rochester. It makes only one large jar, so feel free to multiply!
Ingredients
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
5-6 pickling cucumbers, speared
1 cup water
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp. + 2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. mustard seeds
1/4 tsp. ground tumeric
1 tsp. celery seeds
1 tsp. pickling spice
4 whole garlic cloves, smashed
Directions
Combine the onion and cucumber in a clean spring-top jar. Combine the remaining ingredients, with the exception of the garlic, in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for four full minutes to wake-up the flavors. Add the garlic cloves to the jar. Slowly and gently pour the pickling liquid over the onion and cucumbers, filling to the top of the jar. Cool to room temperature. Top off the pickles with any remaining pickling liquid and refrigerate. Pickles should keep for about 2-3 months.
