I LOVE pickles! And these super easy refrigerator pickles (aka quick pickles) are a shortcut to flavorful, briny, sour bliss. They’re completely customizable, so you can dream up a world of personalized flavors, and they always taste better than store bought. Cheaper too!
Pile your refrigerator pickles on sandwiches, tacos, or salads, or do as I do and eat them out of the jar. Give them the friends, or serve them with appetizers on your holiday table. Hellooo sophisticated Thanksgiving relish tray! 
Quick pickles can offer a world of flavor to a cheese board or relish tray!

Easy Refrigerator Pickles Recipe
Easy Refrigerator Pickles
Ingredients
- Sliced vegetables of your choice (for example: peppers, onions, carrots, green beans)
- Fresh, sturdy herbs of your choice (for example: rosemary, thyme, dill)
- Spices of your choice (for example: whole allspice, smashed garlic cloves, peppercorns, or dill seed)
- 2 cups vinegar of your choice (I like plain white vinegar, but apple cider vinegar can also be nice!)
- 5-6 tbsp sugar
- 3-4 tbsp salt,
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Stuff mason jars full of your desired vegetables, herbs, and spices
- Make the brine: Stir together the vinegar, sugar, salt, and water in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. When all of the sugar and salt has dissolved, your brine is ready to use!
- Ladle the brine into your jars over the vegetables.
- Let cool, then screw on the lids and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks!
