Refrigerator Pickles

In case anyone wants to make some pickles this year..

Here is my mom's recipe for refrigerator pickles. You don't have to process them. They can stay in your fridge for up to 6 months.

Angela & Nicole did not have room in her fridge for these, so we water bathed these jars for 10 minutes...like the dilly beans.. these pickles are the bomb!!
