Let me start by saying, I am NOT a fan of sweet pickles!  I’ve never found a brand or style that I liked.  But my husband LOVES them.  So I was on a mission to come up with a recipe that pleased him AND me!  That’s a tall order on a typical day.  We are the epitome of “opposites attract”.

I SCORED THOUGH!!  These refrigerator sweet pickles are the ultimate in ALL pickles!  Yes, I am claiming that 🙂  These are not your typical canned pickles though.  I haven’t ventured into the world of “real” canning yet, so these will only last in your refrigerator for about three weeks.  They won’t last that long though – trust me!

Here’s how you can make your own Ultimate Sweet Pickles!

Assemble off of you ingredients along with a large bowl!

Slice 8 cups of cucumbers o a thickness that you desire.  I opted for a medium thickness.  You can see in the photo about how thick they are.  I sliced one larger onion slightly thinner.  Having a mandolin slicer makes this step go super fast!  If you don’t have one, THIS one is perfect!

Toss the cut veggies with 1 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.

In a separate bowl combine the liquid base.

Mix 3 cups of sugar, 1 1/2 cups of white vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of dry or regular mustard, 1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed, and 6 cloves of crushed garlic.

Stuff 4 pint size jars to the brim with the cucumbers and onions.  You may have a little more or little less than 4 pints depending on how many cucumbers you used.

Slowly add the sugar/vinegar mixture to the jars letting it seep down into all of the open spaces of the jars.

Top with a lid and you’re done!

You can add a cute ribbon to give as a gift in 24 hours.

ENJOY!!
