Our little cucumber plant finally came through and produced 5 cukes all at once. Of course I had just bought 3 more at the Farmer's Market. So, Anna and I made Quick Refrigerator Pickles.

About 3 big cucumbers, thinly sliced (or chunkily sliced, if you're Anna)
1/2 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 cup vinegar (we used apple cider)
1 cup water
2 tsp salt
1/4 cup brown sugar

Generously salt the cucumbers after slicing and let rest for 20 minutes. Rinse then drain cukes. Put some onion slices in the bottom of the jar(s), then layer with the cuke slices until full. (We used 3 little jelly jars.)

Bring vinegar, water, garlic, salt, and sugar to a boil on the stove, then pour over the cucumbers until they are covered. Chill in the refrigerator. They are better after 3-5 days, but we usually can't wait that long! Will keep 1 month in the fridge.

You can eat the onion and garlic, too. Crunch and delish!
