Make crunchy and tasty homemade pickles right in your refrigerator! It takes just 6 ingredients and 2-3 days!
We love visiting our local farmer’s markets and farms in the summer months. Last summer my husband and I got in the habit of making our own pickles!
We started experimenting and finally found the perfect measurements for everything. I promise, once you start making your own pickles and see how easy it is, you too will be hooked!
My favorite part of this recipe is that it is for refrigerator pickles. Meaning, there is NO canning involved.

This is such a fun idea! I can’t wait to make some pickles when the cucumbers come in the garden!

These look good. I planted canning cucumbers this year, so I am saving this for future reference.

I love pickles!! My grandma used to make dill pickles all the time. She used to say that she would teach me how to do it, but unfortunately, she moved to California before she taught me & lost interest after she left. Well that was over 50 years ago and I would love to make them with my granddaughters now. I pinned this so we can make our own little traditions. Thank you so much for sharing!!

I love this recipe, as it doesn’t involve real canning, I don’t have all the equipment, etc. I’ve had homemade pickles before, and so good. I’d love to try these!
Jackie Wendt says

My grandmother used to make pickles and I always loved to help her. Thanks for sharing your recipe. My mom makes these appetizers where you cut off the bread crust and then put a thick layer of cream cheese on the bread. You then roll the bread with cream cheese on it and roll it around the pickle. Then you cut the pickle with the bread and cream cheese wrapped around it into little circles. They sound terrible, but they are delicious.
