My Kitchen Garden

On the far right, you can see the pickling cucumber vine creeping up the trellis in early spring. You can easily grow pickling cucumbers or buy them in stores.

And here is a pickling cucumber just before I picked it. I Only got a few last Summer, and we, of course, made even more refrigerator dill pickles.

Use Kerr quart sterilized jars..and beautiful fresh ingredients…

My husband loves pickles, and we made these together…

Fresh Dill Tip:

Occasionally, you need to refresh wilted dill. Simply cut off 1/2 inch of the bottom stem, and submerge in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes. You will be amazed as it springs back to freshness!

Discard any black or spoiled bits of dill, and use the freshest pieces in your quick dill pickles.

How To Make Jalapeno, Garlic, Dill Refrigerator Pickles:

Pack the jars full, and tightly, the jars below weren’t quite full when I snapped the photo.

Pour into jars once the solution is lukewarm within 1/2″ of the rim of the jar.

These pickles are now ready for the refrigerator, they are super green at first and will change to a little darker color in the fridge.

Make some quick refrigerator dill pickles, I promise you will enjoy the process as it is quite relaxing.

Plus, they are delicious.  Since these pickles are meant to eat within a couple of weeks, you can give extra jars to a friend or a neighbor or serve them at a family gathering or picnic.
