Refrigerator Pickles (Sweet) - A CSA Box Recipe

Refrigerator Pickles (Sweet)

2 or 3 cucumbers, sliced thinly
1 small onion, sliced thinly
1 1/2 c vinegar
1 1/2 c sugar
1 t salt

Put the sliced cucumbers and onions in a non-metallic (plastic or ceramic) bowl.

In a saucepan, bring the vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil.

Pour the vinegar/sugar/salt solution over the cucumbers and onions in the bowl.  Place a small plate or similar item in the bowl on top of the cucumbers and onions to keep them below the surface of the liquid.  Cover the bowl and refrigerate 24 hours.  At the end of that time, you can transfer the pickled cucumbers and onions and liquid to a jar or other container.  Keep refrigerated.

The pickles will be good for about 3 weeks, but they'll probably be gone by then!
