Sweetish Refrigerator Pickles

sweetish pickles 1I call these "sweetish"one, because it sound like "Swedish" and that amuses me, and two, because I don't like sweet pickles, but I do like these. These pickles are super-easy to make and take a whole 15 minutes. Plus four days in the fridge that you have to try to keep your hands off of them.

Ingredients
1 quart pickling cucumbers or 1/2-3/4 English cucumber, thinly sliced
3/4 cup thinly sliced white onion
1.5 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup turbinado sugar*
1/2 tsp. mustard seed
1/2 tsp. sea salt
4 whole peppercorns
2 whole allspice berries
1/4 tsp. ground turmeric

sweetish pickles 2Directions
1. Thoroughly wash a 1 quart/1 litre container and allow it to air dry.
2. Layer onion and cucumber in container, starting and ending with onion. You may have a little too much cucumber. Eat the leftovers.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Boil for one minute, then let cool.
4. When cool, pour the vinegar over the cucumber and onions.
5. Refrigerate. Try to keep from eating it for at least four days, but if you can't stand it it, you can try them after 24 hours. They'll keep in the fridge for a month, if they last that long.


*You can use regular sugar and it will taste just fine.
