Sweet Mustard Refrigerator Pickles
"These pickles are a delightful twist on traditional sweet pickles, combining the tangy crunch of cucumbers with a bold, sweet, and savory white onion, and mustard-based brine. They are stored in the refrigerator rather than being canned, which makes them quick and easy to prepare. The result is a vibrant, flavorful pickle that perfectly accompanies sandwiches, burgers, or even enjoyed straight out of the jar for a zesty snack."

Step 1
Pour the vinegar, sugar, and salt into a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, until sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat, whisk in the mustard and set aside.

Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion and divide into four equal portions and place into four 500ml jars.
Step 3
Add 1 bay leaf and 3 peppercorns in each jar.
Step 4
Slice the cucumbers into 1/4" rounds and place into jars.
Step 5
Pour the cooled vinegar mixture into the jars, just covering the cucumbers.

Cover the jars and refrigerate until ready to use. (They are better if you let them sit for 3 to 4 days)
