Organic Refrigerator Pickles Recipe
These pickles are tasty and fast to make. The jars make lovely gifts, and it’s a fun project to do with the kids. Try to get organic cucumbers. There have been tests on what fruits and veggies have more pesticides and toxins, and cucumbers are on the top of the list. Look for smaller cucumbers; the large ones taste bad.
