Classic Refrigerator Pickle Medley
Classic Refrigerator Pickle Medley is a crunchy homemade pickle mix featuring fresh vegetables, herbs, and a balanced vinegar brine.
Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers, sliced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small red onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 cups white vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 dill sprigs
- 1 tsp peppercorns
Instructions
- Wash and prepare all vegetables, cutting them into pieces that are similar in size for even flavor and texture.
- Place garlic cloves, dill sprigs, and peppercorns into clean glass jars before adding the vegetables.
- Arrange the vegetables in layers, mixing colors and textures throughout each jar.
- Heat vinegar, water, salt, and sugar together until the brine becomes clear and the seasonings dissolve.

- Allow the jars to cool completely before securing the lids and moving them into the refrigerator.
- Let the pickle medley rest for at least one day before serving, although the flavor becomes even better after several days.
