How to Make Easy Breezy Refrigerator Pickles

  1. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, and 4 cloves garlic. Stir until well combined.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup fresh dill.
  4. Allow the pickling mixture to cool completely. This is crucial for preventing soft pickles.
  5. Add 2 bay leaves to the cooled pickling mixture.
  6. While the mixture cools, pack 1 pound of sliced cucumbers into a clean one-quart mason jar. Gently pour the cooled pickling mixture over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  7. Secure the lid tightly and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or preferably 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Once chilled, serve and enjoy these incredibly flavorful and crunchy pickles with your favorite foods!
