Receta Ice Box Dill Pickles
You don't have to can, to make your own pickles. This recipe allows you to make a 1 quart jar of crisp, tasty dill pickles, that will last for a week in the refrigerator. You need 4 'Kirby' or whatever are labeled 'pickling' cucumbers. Make sure they are firm, and medium to dark green, with bumps (with no blemishes, not bloated, soft or yellow, and a clean 1 quart glass jar with a tight fitting lid (the old fashioned ball, glass top jars are ideal). They need to macerate for 1 day in the fridge in the brine.
I'm not a foodie blogger, so I've never documented my cooking with photographs, so I've found a free source photo to use to give you an idea what this should look like.
