pickles

My son's friend brought us the best refrigerator pickles
and as soon as they were gone we wanted to make more.
Here is our "adapted" recipe . . .

Hastings' Refrigerator Pickles

3 medium cucumbers sliced thin
1/2 onion sliced thin
1 quart white vinegar
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp kosher salt
3 bay leaves
1 tsp dill weed (optional)
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Layer cucumber slices and onion slices with spices in a large container, I used the 80 ounce container from our claussen dills. Heat vinegar and sugar to almost boiling and sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour hot liquid over cucumbers. Refrigerate for a day before eating.
