I dont remember who first wrote about refrigerator pickles here, but it is where I got the idea a long time ago. I have made canned pickles for years, but no need to now. We can make smaller batches and we eat them as they become ready without taking up pantry space which is in short supply here. There are recipes online for no-can refrigerator pickles from scratch not requiring leftover pickle juice, but I have not tried any.
I got four inches of rain last night. Do you know what you got?
Oh thanks for the tip. I’ll do a search and see if one appeals! Our grocery store still sells cucs, so if I get a hankering to experiment, I can still do so! - even in the dead of winter! LOL1
I ony canned pickles once about 30 years ago. I have done the fridge pickles since then. I like then cruncky and you can do small batches. You can even use brine from store bought vlasic pickles and throw some spears in if you are in a hurry.
