First Draft Friday (erm actually Saturday) Refrigerator Pickles

 So the Mr came home for a long weekend and cucumbers were on sale.  So we decided to make refrigerator pickles.  I think our first try is really yummy.  I'm going to post what we did before I forget and can't recreate it the next time.

 

Four English cucumbers, sliced thin (about 1/8 inch).  I put them in a colander, thoroughly mixed in 2 Tbsp of course pink sea salt.  Set the colander over a bowl and let them sit for about 3 hours.  I then rinsed them.  I rinsed them a lot.  I rinsed them until they were only slightly salty.

 

Brine 2 c apple cider vinegar, 2 c water, 1 Tbsp pink sea salt and 2 Tbsp sugar.  Low boil until the sugar and salt dissolved.  Let cool to room temperature.

Rinsed and drained cucumbers were layered into two quart jars with a small amount of sliced green onions, peppercorns, mustard seed and fresh dill.  The fresh dill was kind of crappy so we added some dried dill as well.  

 The first taste was after about 12 hours in the fridge.  They are yummy.  I want to make more.
