Refrigerator Dill Pickles Recipe

If you're growing cucumbers, you know how quickly they can produce from, what seems like a few hours, to overnight!  And before you know it, you have way more cukes than you know what to do with!

What DO you do with them all?  A person can only eat so many!

Have every ever made pickles?  Sweet, dill, bread and butter...?

We love them here!  I have made them by waterbath canning and in a huge crock, but my favorite and easiest way to make them is in the refrigerator.

They come out crisp, crunchy, and of course, cold.

But my favorite part of refrigerator pickles is that you can just keep adding to the brine.  As you eat them, save your brine in the fridge, and add fresh cucumbers as you go!

Easy, huh?
