    Raise your hand if you like pickles! I do too! It's no secret that I love easy recipes that are fresh and natural. With the abundance of cucumbers that I have on hand right now, this is the perfect recipe! These Overnight Refrigerator Pickles don't take long to make at all. Then, you let the fridge do the work for you! Before you know it, you will have amazing dill pickles to add to any meal!

    Overnight Refrigerator Pickles

    We have an abundance of cucumbers in our garden this year! We are so grateful, because last year, my garden failed. πŸ™  I think cucumbers literally grow overnight. I'll check one day and see a small one, not quite ready, and I swear, the next day, it's tripled in size!

    Quart sized Mason jars full of sliced cucumbers and cucumber spears.

    When you can't keep up with those cucumbers? Make overnight refrigerator pickles! It's a great way to enjoy them, and they'll keep longer. But I do have to warn you... they are so incredibly delicious, you might be hiding your own stash--I'm just sayin'!

    These are NOT canned pickles. Therefore, they are much easier and quicker to make! I have nothing against canning, as a matter of fact, I can't wait to get to that season of my life. Every year, I really want to, but life just takes over and it kind of falls to the bottom of the bucket list. So, these babies are working just fine for now!

    What you need~

    • cucumbers
    • onions
    • garlic
    • fresh dill
    • water
    • distilled white vinegar
    • salt
    • sugar

    What to do~

    1. Slice the cucumbers, onions and garlic, place them, along with the dill into quart size mason jars.
    2. Heat water, vinegar, salt and sugar to a boil, stir until sugar is dissolved, remove from heat.
    3. Pour the vinegar solution into the mason jar and seal with a lid. Store in the refrigerator!

    • 2 cloves garlic peeled
    • 2 large sprigs of dill
    • 3 cups water

    • 3 Tbs sugar

      Faye, forgive my delay in response-- I didn't see this til now. So, the sugar helps with preserving, even though they're not canned, but it is not sweet tasting at all, it's primarily dill and garlic that you taste.

      What happens if I don't use sugar? I like a good dill pickle but not sweet. Just curious as I've never tried quick pickles, only canned.

      No, you can pour the warm liquid on them. If you do let it cool, it won’t hurt.

      Do you need to let the liquid cool before pouring over cucumbers?

      So delicious! And easy! We made these the other night and I love them. Reminds me of the whole dill pickles a restaurant in Atlanta used to serve.

      Yes, you can substitute dried dill. a 3-5" spring of fresh dill is equivalent to about a 1/4 tsp of dried dill. So for this recipe that would be 1/2 teaspoon per quart. Personally, I would probably add a bit more than that, but it will depend on your preference. Come back and let me know how it works out!

      Can you use dried dill weed instead of sprigs of dill? If so, how much should I use?

      I would trust them for a few good weeks. Honestly, we found a jar hiding in the back of our spare fridge a year later and we ate them-- we are all still in good health! LOL! But realistically, at my house, I can barely keep them in stock, we go through them quickly.

      How long can these last in the fridge?

      Courtney, honestly we can't keep them around for very long because we all love them so much. I'd say you're still safe in a month. One year I found a year old jar that was hidden in the back of our spare refrigerator. We ate them and we're still alive. πŸ˜‰ Enjoy!!

      How long will these keep in the fridge?
