My mom was given this recipe by her mom back in 1972. She recently shared the handwritten recipe card she made when she was just 18 years old, which makes it feel even more special. With so many cucumbers coming from my garden right now, I thought it was the perfect time to try it. I remember making refrigerator pickles from my own garden when I was in my twenties and living in South Dakota. I did change Grandma’s recipe just a little because the original called for quite a bit of sugar. I replaced half of the white vinegar with apple cider vinegar for a slightly mellower flavor and reduced the sugar a bit. The recipe says to wait three to four days before eating them, and they’ll keep for up to three months in the refrigerator. I can’t wait to taste them this weekend!
