Refrigerator Pickles
Uses from this basket: Cucumber
Other produce: Garlic

• 2 one pint jars
• 2 cucumbers, sliced
• 3 cups water
• 6 Tbsp white vinegar
• 3 Tbsp kosher salt
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• minced, dried onion
• dried dill
  
• crushed red pepper (optional)

Mix water, vinegar, and salt; stir until dissolved. Sprinkle some onion, dill, and garlic into the bottom of each jar. Fill each jar half full with cucumber slices, then sprinkle more onion, dill, and garlic. Fill the rest of the way with cucumber and top with more onion, dill, and garlic. Pour brine in until cucumber slices are covered. Put lids on and refrigerate for at least two days.

If you want a little bit of kick to your pickles, include crushed red pepper flakes in the layering when you put in the onion, garlic, and dill (I did one jar with red pepper and one without).
