Aunt Rose’s Refrigerator Pickles

This is a great refrigerator pickle recipe. In just 24 hours you have great tasting bread-and-butter-style pickle. I grow my own pickles during the summer and love to make these for my friends and family! They never last the full 3 weeks of the refrigerator shelf life!

Original recipe makes 5 half-pint jars

Ingredients

3 long pickling cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 sweet onion, finely chopped
