    Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours but no longer than 2 weeks.

  • Smaller cucumber varieties are used for pickles and are best for this recipe. Prepare pickles soon after bringing cucumbers home from the market.
  • There are several ways to add color and flavor to these easy pickles. Slice a small bell pepper into thin strips for both a color and flavor boost. Add 1 teaspoon celery seed instead of the dill weed, or add a clove of garlic. There is no need to peel the cucumbers when they are fresh and not coated with wax.
