These are easy and tasty. Everyone who has ever tried them has loved them. They keep for 1 year in the refrigerator so it's worth the effort.

How To Make refrigerator pickle

Step 1

Mix cucumbers and onion and sprinkle 3 Tbsp. of salt all over, mix with hands, and let stand for 3 hours.

Step 2

WHILE YOU WAIT mix your vinegar solution of sugar, apple cider vinegar, celery seed, turmeric, and powdered alum. Stir occasionally to dissolve sugar.
Step 3

After 3 hours, drain cucumbers/onions and pour vinegar solution over them. This makes 1 gallon or 4 quarts. Store in refrigerator (doesn't have to be sealed as when canning).
Step 4

They are ready to eat in 24 hours and will keep for 1 year. Enjoy!
