Wanda's Grandfather's Pickles

Below, pickles made again on 1/30. Made TWO jars (pickles in below recipe were eaten up by day 3)... This time, added carrots, peppers and onion to the pickling jar.
Taste is an incredible flavor memory, turned reality twenty years later.
Impressive, right? More so because it's a pickle and I LOVE things that are treated with vinegar! Try this recipe. It is so easy and rewarding. I am sure it will be a regular in our fridge now.

Thank you to Lynnie Sedgwick! She provided this recipe years ago, during a junior high fellowship (church) group meeting where we made these pickles individually, as a large group. What a fun activity!
I requested this recipe from her years later, and she still has it!
By the way, we do not know who Wanda is, other than her grandfather owning an incredibly easy and delicious refrigerator pickle recipe ;D.
Wanda's Grandfather's Pickles
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup vinegar
1 Tablespoon salt
3/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. dill seed
1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 cucumbers, thickly sliced

Add everything to a mason jar except
garlic and cucumbers. Shake.
Add cukes, mixing in garlic slices.
Cover and refrigerate.
Ready to eat in 3 days!

Make sure to select "pickling" cucumbers and that they are firm and in great condition (not dried out or wrinkly).

Easy way to pour into the jar: use a funnel!

I used an "antique" canning jar with a glass lid. (Missing rubber gaskets to fit it!)
Any old jar is fine, even recycled old pickle jars. I used 3 pickling cukes in this large jar and had around 1" of extra space which I filled with vinegar. No Prob!
These taste so good, they will not last long in your fridge!
