Quick Refrigerator Dill Pickles

Quick Refrigerator Dill Pickles

My daughter loves anything that is pickled, so I made this quick refrigerator dill pickles recipe I found on A Couple Cooks. My daughter helped me make these pickles, and we had a lot of fun in the kitchen. The hardest part about this recipe was waiting 24 hours to taste them. We took these homemade dill pickles camping this weekend, and two jars were gone in two days. The longer they sit in the brine, the more flavorful they become, and they stay crisp and taste delicious. My daughter LOVED them and so did the rest of us.

How to Make Quick Refrigerator Dill Pickles

Wash four mason jars and lids in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.

Cut the ends off the cucumbers, then quarter them lengthwise.

Place two cloves of garlic, a handful of fresh dill, half a tablespoon (1½ teaspoons) of coriander seeds, whole peppercorns, and 1 pepper into each jar.

Combine the sugar, kosher salt, and white vinegar in a large bowl, and whisk vigorously until the sugar and salt dissolve.

Add the water to the mixture.

In the four clean mason jars, tightly pack the cucumbers evenly into each jar.

Pour the brine mixture over the cucumbers. Tap the jars on the counter to release air bubbles and top off the jars with extra water if any cucumbers are exposed.

Place the lids on the jars and screw on the rings until they are tight.

Leave the jars in the fridge for 24 hours before tasting.

The pickles last up to one month refrigerated.

  3. You and the other Pam (Sidewalk Shoes) are making me drool over your pickles today! What an easy recipe, and a great mother/daughter project.

    1. June,

      I bought mine at Safeway. Most grocery stores have cans near their baking section by the pectin.

  4. Just put these in the fridge…now I just have to wait until they’re done! Can’t wait to see how they turn out. Thank you so much for all your hard work–your site has given my fiance and me some of our all-time favorite recipes. Keep up the good work!

  5. As a pickle lover myself, I am SO into these! I’ve only made my own pickles a handful of times, but never dill-flavored. Must try!

  6. These pickles look delicious and crispy! Is it possible to cut back on the amount of sugar and do you taste the sweetness of the sugar? What a great way to use up cucumbers!
