So all of a sudden I had a good crop of cucumbers and as you all know, I hate cucumbers. Found this recipe on the internet and made my first batch of refrigerator pickles.

3 to 4 large cucumbers, washed and sliced lengthwise, but not peeled

1 cup (or so) fresh dill

3 cups water

1 cup white vinegar

1/8 cup salt

In a large plastic (or preferably glass container), layer cucumbers and dill.

I used some dill from my own garden but it wasn't quite fully grown so I cheated and bought a pack from the HEB.  I am supposed to wait two full days to sample these and I will. I will share that experience in another post.

PS:  The brine smells so good.  I will so use this as a topping for a raspa or two.  Who doesn't like pickle juice snow-cones. 

PPS:  Oh wow I just realized I wasn't supposed to heat the dill.  Oh well.  You live, you learn.  LOL.
