The barbecue sandwiches got me thinking about pickles and I came across a neat and easy recipe for making pickles that are pickled over time by just sitting in your fridge. I am looking forward to trying this recipe and hopefully using it with my BBQ next time I make it!
I got this recipe from Tastebook.com one of my favorite recipe sites!
Ridiculously Easy Sweet and Spicy Refrigerator Pickles
This is a great way to use all those cucumbers. I find these pickles make a refreshing side salad to a summer dinner.
2 medium cucumbers, unpeeled (use organic!), thinly sliced
½ large red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional, but delicious)
Bring vinegar to a boil and add sugar and crushed pepper. Simmer, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Add oil. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Put cucumbers and onion in a lidded container and cover with brine. Seal, give container a shake and refrigerate for at least two hours.
These get better over time and stay nice and can stay good in the fridge for several days.
