I think they might even be better than my Grandmas (dont tell ANYONE I said that lol) JeanFrequently Asked QuestionsWhats the difference between regular pickles and Refrigerator Pickles? So, regular pickles are canned and are shelf stable. These Refrigerator Pickles are not canned, not shelf stable, and have a shorter life span but taste more crispy and fresh. What are the best kind of pickles to use? I would say Pickling, Persian or English cucumbers work well with this recipe. Do I need to peel my cucumbers? This is personal preference really. I used small pickling cucumbers and they dont require peeling to be pickled. I rarely peel cucumbers anymore but if you want to, go for it. Just know that in general, English cucumbers and pickling cucumbers dont need to be peeled. How do you pick out the best cucumbers for pickling? Go for the fresh and firm cukes. Even better if theyre smaller with fewer seeds so youll have a better texture. Can you preserve Refrigerator Pickles? Well, these are refrigerator pickles and theyre called that for a reason, they should be kept in the fridge. Canning recipes (as opposed to refrigerated recipes) are specially proportioned to inhibit bacteria growth so the food will be shelf stable. If you would like to can pickles, you should use one of my other recipes, like my Bread and Butter Pickles or go with a recipe specifically designed for canning. How long will Refrigerator Pickles last? If stored properly, these pickles should last up to a month. Be sure you seal your jars tightly so air cant get in. When tossing them in the fridge, pick the coldest part. Before eating the pickles from the fridge, always check for quality and safety. Look for any discoloration, cloudiness or other signs of spoilage and toss them if you have any doubts. I cant find pickling mix, can I make my own? Yes! I mention below that I usually just grab a bottle of pickling spice from Walmart. But if you cant find it, below is a simple recipe for homemade pickling mix.
