Homemade Pickles

You know it is time for action when you have seven cucumbers on your counter and your family is already getting cucumber fatigue.

I looked up a pickle recipe online and tried it out. It's a little too sweet for me so next time I'll probably cut back on the sugar.

Refrigerator Pickles

2 large cucumbers
1 small onion
2 stalks celery
1 green pepper
1 clove garlic
Dill 

Boil:
1 c. sugar
1 1/4 c. vinegar
1/4 c. salt (or less)
1 1/2 c. water

Slice vegetables thin. Put in plastic or glass container along with dill and garlic. Boil brine mixture and let cool. Pour over sliced pickles and refrigerate. Ready to eat in 2-3 days and keeps well.
