Refrigerator Pickles

I've never made pickles before. But this is the second week in a row that our CSA box was loaded with cucumbers. And while Audrey can usually eat her weight in them, I thought maybe I should try to do something more adventurous. So I made these super easy no cook refrigerator pickles.

First, I used my mandoline slicer to thinly slice the cucumbers. The recipe called for 6 cups, which was about 9 cucumbers. I also used 1 - 1/2 onions from our CSA box, thinly sliced. These were layered in a glass bowl.

Next I made the vinegar and spice mixture. 

I poured the mixture over the cucumbers and let it cool on the counter for a couple of hours. I stirred it a couple of times. As the cucumbers yielded, more of the spice mixture covered more of the cucumbers and onions.

I used two Fido canning jars I purchased at Marshall's for under $3 and put the jars in the refrigerator where they are supposed to chill for at least four days. I can't wait to try them. Again, this was incredibly easy and I'm glad I found a way to use all those cucumbers. Now I have to figure out what to do with all the zucchini. I can't have zucchini bread or muffins hanging around the house. And I don't like relish. Do you have ideas?
