Refrigerator Pickles

From Organic Gardening:
Audrey's Pickles
1 pound medium cucumbers
3 cloves garlic
½ teaspoon black peppercorns
½ teaspoon whole mustard seed
1 teaspoon fresh dill weed
1 whole dried bay leaf
2/3 cup organic cane sugar
6½ tablespoons white distilled vinegar
6½ tablespoons white-wine vinegar
¾ cup water
Made this yesterday. Can I control myself and wait a few more days to sample? It is very difficult but I have to try!

please let us know how yours turn out. I made these yesterday, and am not sure why "Audrey" recommends using brown sugar... it gives the pickles an unappealing brown color! ick! they look nothing like the ones pictured in the magazine. hopefully they will taste good, though! i'm going to try and give mine a week of brining or so.

I agree about the brown sugar but it does add a certain tone even after two days-very good flavor. Made another batch yesterday with an added chili pepper. We will see about that batch.
