I've made your dill pickles, the spears & sliced & 2 jars of the bread n butter pickles. I can't wait for 3 days to pass so we can eat them❣ I added a couple of pinches of red pepper flakes to them for a little heat 🙆♀️❣ Thank you for sharing your recipes with all of us ❤ 🌿👍🌿
Well done… Love your down to earth, practical, and no apologies for being so is what I appreciate about your channel. So much of your stuff is useful. Good to know. Thank you. 💜
Wow.. Hi Coleen.....10 minutes to put up some dill pickles...never knew how...my husband loves dill pickles...I grow a big garden...always eat them raw but this year we have been blessed with soooo many cucumbers I thought I'd try finding a recipe...THANK YOU FOR THE SIMPLICITY...I'm making these today!
I made the dill pickles using your recipe about a week ago. I had an onion with a sticker on it that said Vidalia, so used part of that. I bought tiny cucumbers for pickling. Such a success! Thank you very much.❤
I have a bumper crop of cucumbers this year and have been making refrigerator garlic dill pickles and sharing with family & friends. I am the only one in my household that likes a sweet pickle so I'm very happy you have given the amounts for just a quart. I will definitely be making them today. Have a lovely day, I'm off to harvest more cucumbers.
I was going through some of the older videos I missed, and I am so glad that I did! My parents years ago used to have a huge garden when we lived in Michigan. They would grow and can pickles every year. Garlic dills, bread and butter pickles, hot dills. Now we live in Arizona, and it's almost impossible to grow pickles or anything else for that matter!! After watching this video I can get some cuc's maybe I will see if I can find some regular pickling cucumbers now that we have a few fruit markets. We didn't have the markets in our area until the last few years! Even if I can't get regular pickling cuc's I will get the english cuc's and make your recipe!!! Thank you so much!! 😊 It's been years since we've had some good homemade pickles!!! 😍
Im soo happy I found your page. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. You may have mentioned in the video. How long can the pickles be left in the brine in fridge? Ty!
Thank you, Colleen, so glad your video popped up today. These look both delicious and doable! Liked and subscribed. Hope you are safe, not in the path of fires... ❤
I absolutely love making quick Refrigerator Pickles!! I've got a video of my refrigerator pickles on my channel.. thanks for sharing this excellent video Colleen!! And as always you're looking absolutely gorgeous!!😘😉
Love these recipies. Made them twice this year, lots because my family eat them so quickly. I am from UK and have managed to grow small cucumbers and dill. Thank you Colleen.❤❤
I’ve tried just about everything that you have except your garlic bread. You make everything so easy that’s why I watch your channel I’m 69 years old and I’ve never. Tried to bake bread or anything like that but it was so easy. Love you keep on cooking and sharing
A quart of dill pickles that’s good and crunchy is probably more than four US dollars for a quart size m, thank you !!! for helping us save money and enabling us to have crunchy, dill pickles.
Thanks for the recipes. I've done this a lot in the summer with home grown produce. Never thought to do it with items from the grocery store! Great idea. I'm 2 months away from fresh cucumbers!
This is the first of your videos that I've watched and I am instantly hooked. Your methods and approach are very easy to understand and follow, and yet you provide information and background for why things are done the way they are. Thank you so much.
Thank you Michael, I hope you continue to find videos on my channel that are informative and easy to understand. Thanks for following along. Cheers, Colleen
Love refrigerator pickles make them every year Never made the sweet pickles will definitely give a try thanks for the easy recipe n inspiration ,Rachel in Texas 🤗 Btw it’s 104 degrees here 🥵
I make the bread n butter pickles.. I make a couple qts early morning, vacuum seal the jars and 8 hrs later they are ready to eat.. by vacuum sealing the jars I don't have to wait for days to eat them.. they also stay crunchy.. Great video ⚘️
Thank you Beth, I have tried all kinds of preserving but have never vacuum sealed anything. Maybe that is something I could try in the future. Cheers, Colleen
Hi Colleen, I made your bread & butter pickles, only used 1/4 teaspoon salt and they are delicious. As my husband is of Ukrainian parents he knows about pickles and thought they were very good. We visited Canada about 10 years ago, traveled from Vancouver to Calgary, and then flew to Toronto for the big Ukrainian Festival there. Beautiful country and lovely people, also LOTS of trees. Many thanks, this recipe will be made often. In case you are interested, the temperature in Queensland today is 20C, at night it gets down to 6C and I am cold. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you for leaving this great comment! At the moment we are in the middle of a rainy cold week. The night time temperature is forecast to get down to 6 tonight and daytime up to 12. It has been raining for days, not that we are complaining about rain because it is helping with the forest fires in Canada. I'm pleased that you have tried out the pickles and it sounds like you enjoyed them. Take care, Colleen
This brine recipe should work great for dilly green beans; or brocolli,cauliflower&carrot pieces to refrigerator pickle. Thank you for your wonderful instructions & recipes.
Hell Denise, yes, the brine should work well for all those projects you just mentioned. I'm so happy you found something useful here. Best wishes, Colleen
I just love your recipes. These two I'm diffently going to try these. I grew garlc and dill this year. Cucumbers are coming. But i can purchase a few to make these recipes. Thanks for sharing.
Loved your video. Just what I needed to pickle my watermellon dikon radish slices tonight. Picked enough for a jar from the garden today. Used your 1st basic brine with 1 Tbsp of wh. sugar, poured it on hot over radish slices & put the lid on. This is just like the recipe I use to refrigerate jalapeño or plobano or banana or pepperoncini peppers that I grow. Just couldn't find my recipe fast enough tonight. Now it's done & I can go to sleep. I thank you.
Hello Denise, so glad you found the recipe useful. I've never tried to pickle dikon radish as its not something that is regularly available to us here. All the best, Colleen
My family so enjoys refrigerator pickled anything….we do what you’ve shown and we also enjoy making and having pickled string beans and just plain pickled red onions, radishes and even eggs as well! … most things wouldn’t last long enough to make it worth our while to can them…so we always just make batches of different things and marinate them for at least a week or two! …thanks for sharing
We love refrigerated things too! In fact while I can we still enjoy a good quick pickle. I haven't canned radishes but I really enjoy them so I may give that a try next. Cheers, Colleen
I love pickles, but they are so expensive in the stores. These two recipes are perfect for me to start making my own. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!
Hi Colleen😊 Thankyou. I needed a reminder of this. Will definately be making a couple of jars. If you have any other quick recipes please share them. Thanks for sharing 😊
Oh! I didn’t know you could make quick dills too! I planted WAY too many cucumbers so will have to try these and I have dill as well. I already do the bread and butter ones so a variety is a great option! Thanks again. I really enjoy your channel!
Thank you Sharon, I love having them in the fridge so we can just pick away at them. Hopefully I will have a good cucumber crop this year so that I can put some in the pantry but will not give up my fridge pickles.
I don't know how i missd this video. I had a big bowl of zucchini and cukes .so I'm making your sweet mix recipe....so good. Can't wait until the pickles are ready. It's a keeper.❤
Hi Colleen I love pickles both bread snd butter and original Dill pickles it’s become almost impossible to find original dill pickles here in the states anymore only kosher and polish except for the hamburger dill chips taste like real dill pickles to me!! Are these two pickle recipes crispy pickles ?? You’d dill pickles recipe looks like it might be original dill pickles except for the garlic in them which I can omit !! Your pickles look yummy !! Thanks Colleen I hope your doing well , God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
I have about 8 smallish home grown cucumbers, but it may still be too many! If I have any brine left over, I'll do extra for my neighbor. Making these now, but how do I wait a week before trying them? P-a-t-i-e-n-c-e!! Think I may cut some lengthwise for sandwiches. Thank you for a terrific video! I'll need to get the ingredients for the dill pickles. Subscribed!
Hi Colleen, have really enjoyed the videos and have used alot of your recipes. Thank you! I have endeavoured on a search to find a pickle recipe that can replicate some of the tangyness (sic) pickles that a person comes across at the odd hamburger place, the ones you can feel in your jaw for lack of a better explanation. I have acquired all the canning supplies and tools since fall and during the winter have also picked up a fermenter if that is where a recipe leads. Just wondering if you may by chance have a recipe/process in you vast arsenal? Thank you so much from Kevin in Alberta
Hello Kevin Thank you for watching my videos and for your kind remarks. I can only guess at what you are talking about with the tangyness but suspect that the reaction may be because there are still companies that use alum to help keep their pickles crisp. A similar product is called pickle crisp. I don't have a big bunch of recipes for pickles but I am always open to trying a new recipe so I find them in cook books and online. Cheers, Colleen
Nice one Colleen. Feb is gonna be a financially tight month. Sick of buying cucumbers for sandwiches and it going off in a few days. Gonna pickle and save the money instead.
looks good use bamboo chopsticks instead of knife. The knife causes micro cracking of the glass and if you were canning it over time glass jars can explode.
Okay I think those are great recipes I'm probably going to have to try it when I have more space now I have a couple questions how long do they have to stay in the refrigerator and can you take them out refrigerator after they been there for at least a week or do they have to stay in refrigerator all the time
This is a great recipe to have! I plan on using it as soon as possible because we have lots of cucumbers this year. My only question is, how long should you keep them in the refrigerator before you can actually start eating them as pickles instead of chilled cucumbers?
As I was watching this, I was wondering to myself that you must be Canadian (Allen's vinegar) plus you said Calgary. I used to live there! Is it Lina's Italian Market that you visit? Great video!
Hi John, They never last more than three months because we eat them so fast so I can't give you a date beyond that. They are good though! Cheers, Colleen
I haven't heard of doing that perhaps someone else has and can snswer. I use tablesalt for most canning and don't worry about the clouding. If I'm doing entries for rhe fair I make sure not to use table salt. Cheers, Colleen
Hi Colleen, Sorry to bother you again, but I just had a question for you. Is there anything you can do with the bread and butter pickle juice once the pickles are eaten? It seems such a waste to throw it away, many thanks from Aussieukes better half , Patricia
Hi Colleen, I have hijacked my hubbies page to ask a question. I love bread & butter pickles but have been put on a low-salt diet, Is it possible to omit the salt in this recipe? Hello to you and yours from Australia and thank you for all your videos
Hello, im sure your husband won't mind. I absolutely think you could make it without the salt. In pickling a tsp of salt is very little and I'm sure it would be fine without it. Best wishes to you and yours from the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦
Colleen, I've been comparing refrigerator bread and butter pickle recipes (at least 10 different ones), and they all have minor differences in ingredients, but every one of them either salts them or soaks them in ice water to draw out moisture, except yours. You are the only person who pours the brine over newly sliced untreated cucumbers and onions. Do they turn out softer than the ones that have been prepared by soaking or salting?
@@oursilvermoments6028 I will let you know, because I just finished a batch about an hour ago. How long is it before they are ready to eat? By the way, I just subscribed to your channel. I really like the friendly way you present things.
Have you made freezer pickles my husband use to make tham I never got the recipe. Thay were like bread and butter but sliced very thin with onions. He put tham in cottage cheese containers and froze tham.
@Arlene-e2g I feel like they are at their best in the first few weeks. I wouldn't think that two years would be any good but others may have more information about them than I do.
I've made your dill pickles, the spears & sliced & 2 jars of the bread n butter pickles. I can't wait for 3 days to pass so we can eat them❣
I added a couple of pinches of red pepper flakes to them for a little heat 🙆♀️❣

Great job! Since this is a refrigerator pickle, do you think I can use Splenda in stead of regular sugar? Thanks!
@@kimwiscaver8686 yes, I haven't tried it but I use Splenda in baking and because its refrigerated it should be fine.

Do you know if I could use dry dill instead of fresh ?

Nice one Colleen. Feb is gonna be a financially tight month. Sick of buying cucumbers for sandwiches and it going off in a few days. Gonna pickle and save the money instead.
Thats a great idea.
For the Dill recipe, is there anything else you can add instead bof the garlic ? I'm allergic to garlic. Thanks
looks good use bamboo chopsticks instead of knife. The knife causes micro cracking of the glass and if you were canning it over time glass jars can explode.
Great video! How long will the dills stay good in the refrigerator? Thanks!
I'm not sure, we usually eat them up pretty quickly but some have been in there for 3 months and were still great.

Thank u.
Hi from the Moncton/Sussex area. We're 1 hr & 20 mins from SJ.
How long do they last once opened?
Can you use regular table salt and a pinch of bicarbonate (baking soda) to avoid clouding?
I haven't heard of doing that perhaps someone else has and can snswer. I use tablesalt for most canning and don't worry about the clouding. If I'm doing entries for rhe fair I make sure not to use table salt. Cheers, Colleen

No bother at all. Honestly I reuse the brine. Just add more cut cucumbers to the brine, wait a week and you are good to go again. Cheers, Colleen

Can you reuse the brine or is it best to get new
I reuse the brine a few times before replacing it with new.

Hi Monica, I have never heard of freezing pickles but I am open to new ways of preserving food so I will definitely look into this. Cheers, Colleen
If you want kosher dills there is a pickling salt and spices in the canning section I got mine at Menards to pickle eggs.
How long will refrig pickles last in the fridge? I have read anywhere between 3 weeks to 2 years, so I am confused. Anyone know?
@Arlene-e2g I feel like they are at their best in the first few weeks. I wouldn't think that two years would be any good but others may have more information about them than I do.
