How To Make Refrigerator Dill Pickles

Learn How To Make Refrigerator Dill Pickles. Take advantage of the fresh summer Kirby pickles and enjoy a crunchy snack with homemade dill pickles.

Homemade refrigerator dill pickles in a quart canning jar made from homegrown Kirby cucumbers

Have you ever made your own pickles? I have been dreaming of making my own pickles for about a year now.

I planted some kirby cucumber plants and harvested a couple of small ones the other day. I only had three  but I was determined to try a recipe I found for refrigerator pickles on my favorite canning blog Food In Jars.

I had to doctor up the original recipe a bit because I am having a hard time finding dill seed around here so I changed the spices. You can adjust the spices if you like.

I have to tell you I am blown away by how easy and how good these turned out. Here is the recipe I used. This makes 2 pints.

 Since I didn't have enough cucumbers to fill 2 jars I packed the second jar with baby carrots I bought at the grocery store. I haven't tried them yet!

You jars will seal from the heat of the brine but these pickles are meant to be kept in the fridge not canned for future use.

Please follow proper safety measures for food storage when canning or pickling!

    It is always best to can them as from Vine to Brine . Although somemites something comes up that slows the canning and you want to can them the next day. Yes, I think the refrigerator sounds fine as long as they stay moist and cold. It also depends on if you're canning baby dills, sweets and the size cucumbers. I've canned many quarts and pints of pickles and had to change my canning time to the next day with good results. The best result being of the same day of coarse, but not much difference. Enjoy crunchy pickles!

    Hmmm...I left a comment...but I think it linked up to something in Blog Frog? Crud. I have no idea.

    So my original post basically went something like this...

    I love pickles.

    I love this recipe.

    I'm growing cucumbers and dill.

    And I can't wait to try this.

    The end. 🙂
