Along the same line, I have another recipe to offer:

Refrigerator Pickles

Slice 4 pounds of small cucumbers (pickling cucumbers) thinly, skin on and put in a one gallon jar. Mix 1 quart white vinegar, 3 cups sugar, 1/2 cup fresh chopped dill weed, 1 Tbsp. mixed pickling spices, 1 Tbsp. whole black peppers, 8 cloves garlic, sliced (optional). Pour over cucumbers. Cover first with plastic wrap and then with lid. Refrigerate 3 days, shaking once a day for 3 days. Store in refrigerator up to 1 month. (BJ's note: Will keep longer, but will get softer the older they become.)
Enjoy, BJ in MS
