Dilly Pickles
When you are wondering what to make with all those garden cucumbers I got ya covered with my Dilly Pickles! These refrigerator pickles come together without all the time it takes from regular canning. I know because years ago we used to spend days in the kitchen canning! I finally perfected my old recipe into a quick refrigerator pickle that is ready in two days! Slice them any way you love your pickles or pickle them whole! No matter how you slice them they are sure to make you pucker when you bite into one!
