How To Make Icebox Pickles August 30, 2011 By Myra Hope 62 Comments I had the greatest childhood of growing up on a country farm with my cousins and grandparents on each side. We had the best time. There were difficult times too when we didn’t get along – especially that time when we were gone to the cattle sale with my granddaddy and Memaw smashed and buried our snake eggs. She hated snakes. One of the things I remember doing with Memaw is making icebox pickles when there was an overabundance of cucumbers. These pickles are so quick and easy to make! refrigerator pickles recipe How To Make Icebox Pickles 6 cups sliced, unpeeled cucumbers 1 cup sliced red onion 1 cup sliced green bell pepper 1 Tablespoon celery seed 1 Tablespoon salt 2 cups white sugar 1 cup white vinegar Combine all ingredients in a glass jar or crock. Cover with water and refrigerate. You can eat them immediately, but I will tell you that the pickles are much, much tastier if you let them sit in the refrigerator for a few weeks. They will keep up to 3 months in the fridge. Day 1 Look how colorful they are! One Month Later The brine has done it’s job! We love these pickles. They have a great summery, fresh flavor that is just delicious and completely different from store-bought pickles. Plus there are no harmful preservatives in them! :) Have you ever made homemade pickles? I’m linking up to Tasty Tuesday, Works For Me Wednesday, Transformation Thursday and I’m Lovin’ It!
