Easy Sweet Refrigerator Pickles

Deliciously seasoned with celery seed, mustard seed and black pepper corns, these crunchy little morsels are wonderful on burgers, hot dogs, sausages, mixed into potato salads, or my favorite, heaped on a ham sandwich! They take less than 20 minutes to prepare but benefit from resting a few hours before enjoying. You be the judge of when to start eating!

  • Thanks for stopping by today friends! We are so busy here in the Back of the Beyond in Ferry County, Washington and summer is going bye way too fast. Wherever you are, I hope you can enjoy some fresh fruits and home grown produce from local farmers or at a nearby farmers market. Nothing is more delicious than fresh picked vegetables. I wish I could share some of ours with you as our garden is rather prolific right now. Wishing you all summer sunshine, fresh air, beautiful sunsets and much fun with family and friends. Until next time Journey On! Hugs and much love from me, Karen, TJG
