I made these last night and couldn’t wait to try them tonight. They are AMAZING! I may be obsessed. I wanted to save them and try one after a week, two weeks, month, etc. to see how the flavor changes. I hope I’m able to resist that long! I already ate quite a few. So fresh and good. I love that it’s just for one jar because I can just make a jar every time I pick from the garden. I’m am glad I tried these!!! Thanks for resharing or else I never would’ve known. 🙂

[…] ago and, honestly, they just keep getting better as they sit. The original recipe comes from Prevention RD. I tweaked it a tiny bit, but it is still super low-calorie but high flavor! Start them now and […]

Thanks for your response. I think I used regular cucumbers. Is that bad? I will let them sit for awhile. Thanks again!

Hi Meldoy! Thanks for your comment. I have to say, this is surprising to me…I make these ALL the time and I’ve never had a batch fail. People who we’ve shared with want the recipe, even! Did you use cukes and not traditional cucumbers? Also, maybe let them sit a few days longer? I make these and often eat the jar 9-12 months later. They only get better 🙂 I hope that helps some – I’m sorry they weren’t a hit!

Hey! I have made refrigerator pickles before and they didn’t turn out so well so I thought I’d try your recipe since you had failed attempts too. So I made these the other day and they still turned out like watery, vinegary cucumbers (still good but no cigar). Do you have any idea why this could be?

Great pickles! I recently discovered ‘refrigerator pickles’ after they went on sale at the grocery store & decided to see why they were so special to need their own section and I fell in love with the crisp clean taste.
That said I wound up trying the only 2 kinds they sold. I thought the Claussens were a bit salty after I compared them to the second type I tried that came in a plastic bucket. Which I really enjoyed. So much I woofed the whole container down in thes than 2 weeks.
Then I decided after searching recipes & ingredients that it would cheaper & funner to make my own. Luckily this was the first recipe I tried!
They came out incredible. I followed the directions exactly, but I got impatiant & ate one about 17 hours later and decided to toss in some peppercorns & a bay leaf. After sitting for another 12 hours they tasted perfect.
I’m unsure if the added ingredients mattered, but I will indeed be making these again and again! Oh and they look beautiful as well!
Thank for posting this recipe.

I’ve been making these since August 2011 and have made about a dozen other pickle recipes since. If you’re looking at this recipe and wondering if you should choose it for your first ever batch of pickles or your hundreth – the answer is yes! In all this time and all those pickles this is still my go to recipe when I’m craving something crunchy and sour! They’re wonderful! Thank you so much for posting these, I’ve said it once before but I’m happy to say it again! 🙂

In reply to Claudiapo. Yay! Another lover of these pickles! I am actually doing a "Recipe Repeat" on them because they're THAT good! :) Thanks for letting me know you loved'em! The spicy version sounds amazing, as well!

Dill Pickles – I made these, and they are incredible! I can’t stop eating them! I also tried a spicy version adding a little old bay seasoning – Delish!
