Refrigerator Pickles in Vinegar
One of my favorite parts of summer comes from my own backyard. They are picked off a vine, sliced and soaked briefly before being popped into my mouth or adorning the top of my burger or a pulled-pork sandwich. Pickling cucumbers are something my family has long enjoyed. They are soaked in nostalgia and eaten the same day, even hours later.
The preparation takes nearly no time at all, and you can use them as a side on their own or use them to finish off sandwiches and burgers of all sorts in place of your every day pickle for a fresh twist to your meal.
My cucumbers are just starting to blossom and grow, so I’ll be enjoying these again within the next week or so, and I can’t wait! I’m already anticipating biting into these, crunchy and cold on a hot day.

Thanks
