Spicy Refrigerator Pickles

I’ll be honest. I like pickled things, but have never liked straight up eating pickles on their own. I’d eat them on things, but never just a pickle…until now. These refrigerator pickles have changed my views on pickled cucumbers. Unlike many pickles that I’ve despised, these are crispy, not soggy, and have a freshness to them that I’ve never had before. All you have to do to make them is combine all of the ingredients in a jar, shake it up, and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 days. If you don’t want whole pickles, you can slice them into chips or spears; speeding up the pickling time to a day.
