My daughter, son and I LOVE pickles. With a sandwich for lunch, as a snack, whenever. But we’re pickle snobs I guess, because we love the crunchy refrigerator kind the best. They are pretty expensive though, so I only bought them about twice a month. When I seen the recipe for refrigerator pickles on Miz Helen’s Country Cottage, I was super excited. Our favorite treat, at a fraction of the cost of the store bought kind. They couldn’t be easier to make either. The only problem with them, is that your supposed to let them ferment for two weeks before you eat any…. Ummm, I have had my first jar in the refrigerator for a week now, and it is already half gone. They are VERY good, and I’m sure they will be even better once they reach the two week mark. If they survive that long. : ) I just finished making two more jars, so hopefully they will be able to make it the two full weeks before they are eaten. Without further ado, here is the recipe.
Miz Helen’s Pickle Pot
1 Quart Glass Container
1 yellow onion sliced
3 cloves garlic
3 cups cucumber slices
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons pickling spice
White Vinegar to cover onions and pickles
Water to add to Vinegar
In a clean GLASS container begin to layer with sliced onions, then sliced cucumbers. Sprinkle the top with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 pod of garlic. Repeat the layer and add 1 tablespoon of the pickling spice. Repeat the layer again ending with the last tablespoon of pickling spice and the remainder of the salt. Fill the container 3/4 of the way full with vinegar and 1/4 with water until the cucumbers and onions are completely covered. Seal the jar tightly and shake up and down to distribute the seasons. Place in the refrigerator for 2 weeks before serving, (if you can wait that long).

Hi April,I am so excited that you and your family are now official Pickle Pot Lovers. I know what you mean about keeping up with the Pickle Pot, they are just to good to leave alone.Happy Pickle Eating,Miz Helen
Thanks for the recipe! We are huge pickle eaters…especially my girls. I have been wanting to try my hand at making them, just needed the inspiration…lol I will give this a try :)
Hope you like them as much as we do!
I made them too! It's such a fun idea:@)
Yes it is, we love them. :)
I've got a jar in my refrigerator right now "perculating" as my granny would say. Can't wait to try them.
Oh goodness Jenny, we love em here at my house. One jar didn't even make it a week. lol I have two more fermenting right now though, so ONE should make it the whole two weeks. If you like refrigerated pickles, then you'll love this recipe. We eat them on sandwiches, along side a meal as a type of salad, or even as a snack. I'm going to try to make a jar with whole, mini pickles next to see if they turn out just as good.
