Spicy garlic dill refrigerator pickles

The garden giveth...slowly. Similar to many of you, we have had a wacky weather year so far. The maturing and ripening process has been limping along for most of our stuff. I go out with high hopes and end up with a small handful of beans, tomatoes and few pickling cukes. I'm not including the 10 zucchinis but hey, that happens to everyone who dares to plant zukes.

Rather than waste my tiny harvest, they will all be turned into a beautiful jar of pickles. Not the zucchini though, they will meet another fate.

Refrigerator pickles are an easy way to preserve your veggies for several weeks and make great accompaniments to all summer meals. This is an easy basic recipe that is easily adaptable to your tastes and what you have on hand. Add as much garlic as you like, pickled garlic is the best!
