How to Make Easy Breezy Refrigerator Pickles
- 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.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup fresh dill.
- Allow the pickling mixture to cool completely. This is crucial for preventing soft pickles.
- Add 2 bay leaves to the cooled pickling mixture.
- 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.
- Secure the lid tightly and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or preferably 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Once chilled, serve and enjoy these incredibly flavorful and crunchy pickles with your favorite foods!
