Fresh Refrigerator Pickles: Cauliflower, Carrots, Cukes, You Name It

  1. For the brine: Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan, and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  2. Add the garlic and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, divide the celery seed, coriander seed, mustard seed, peppercorns and dill evenly between two 1-quart Mason jars.
  4. Add the vinegar and salt to the saucepan, bring the brine back to a boil, and stir until the salt dissolves.
  5. Transfer 3 cloves of garlic to each jar using tongs, then pack the jars full with the carrots, cucumbers, chiles, scallions or whatever other vegetables you're using.
  6. You want them to be really stuffed.
  7. Pour the hot brine over the vegetables to completely cover.
  8. Let cool, and then refrigerate.
  9. The pickles will taste good in just a few hours, but they'll be better after a couple of days.
