Mom’s Refrigerator Sweet Pickles

• timp activ: 20 minutes
• timp total: 25 minutes

Ingrediente

7 cups thinly sliced cucumbers (ends of cucumbers discarded)

1 cup thinly sliced onions (chopped into smaller pieces if desired)

1 cup diced green bell pepper

1 tablespoon pickling salt

2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup white vinegar

1 tablespoon celery seed

big sprig of fresh dill

Instrucțiuni

Combine cucumbers, onions, bell pepper, and pickling salt in large heat-proof bowl, preferably one with a lid. Stir and let sit on the counter for 1 hour. Drain well. (I use a Benriner mandoline for thin, even slicing.)

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the sugar, vinegar, and celery seed. Whisk rapidly until sugar dissolves completely.

Remove saucepan from heat. If you like a crisper pickle, let brine cool to room temperature (If you want to speed up the cooling, pour the brine into a separate bowl and place in the fridge or freezer to cool down quickly). Otherwise, just pour the hot brine over the cucumber mixture - this is what I usually do!

Add the dill and fold everything to combine. Place a lid on the bowl and refrigerate for 2 days before eating, to let flavors mingle. Eat straight from the bowl, or transfer to jars if desired. Pickles keep well for up to 3 weeks.
