Refrigerator Pickles

Advertisements

Original recipe can be found here. I used Dried Dill instead of fresh, though the original recipe used fresh dill. I also forgot to add onion, so that also changed the flavor.

I made this recipe a week and a half ago. This weekend I was making picnic food, and I thought these pickles would pair very nicely. These pickles are very good. They aren’t as sour as store bought pickles, but they had the right flavor and tasted great! I used 9 tsp dried dill, 2 garlic cloves, and I forgot the onion. Despite this these pickles were very good and still had a fresh flavor about them. If you still have as many cucumbers as I do, this would be a great recipe to make!

What You Will Need
  • 4 qts Cucumbers, with ends cut off and quartered if large
  • 9-12 tsp dried dill
  • 2-4 garlic cloves
  • 1 small onion
  • 7 1/2 cups water
  • 2 cups vinegar
  • 1/3-1/2 cup salt
Directions
  1. In a large pot, bring water, vinegar, and salt to a boil. Turn off burner and remove from heat.
  2. In a gallon container, add dill, garlic and onion, then top with cut cucumbers.
  3. Cover with warm brine, place a plate on top to hold cucumbers under the brine, then add lid and transfer the fridge.
  4. Pickles are ready after 5 days, and are good for 9-12 months.

Pork Over Buttered Noodles

This is a recipe I made in order to use up some extra pulled pork in my fridge. It is a very straight forward recipe. I didn’t add any seasoning to it, because the pork had more than enough on it’s own, however, if you are gonna make this from pork butt, or unseasoned pork, you can play with some fun french herbs like thyme, rosemary, marjoram, or basil. This also tasted great over noodles! This recipe made 4 adult sized meals.

What You Will Need
  • 2 Cups Shredded Pork
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, diced
  • 3 Shallots, sliced
  • 2 Medium Carrots, slices
  • 1 Tomato, quartered
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 3 Cups Water
  • 2 Beef Bouillon Cubes
  • A Dutch oven and spoon
  • A cutting board and knife
  • 3-4 cups cooked egg noodles with butter for serving
Directions
  1. In a dutch oven, add butter, carrots, garlic, and onion. Cook over medium heat until soft and have added color.
  2. Add tomato, water, and bouillon, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add pork. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat then serve over noodles.
