- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 3 medium-sized pickling cucumbers like Kirby pickles thinly sliced (about ¾ lb)
- 1/2 medium sweet onion thinly sliced about ¼ lb
Instructions

- Layer the cucumber and onion slices into the jar, fully submerging them in the pickling liquid. Use a clean utensil to press the vegetables down into the brine if needed.
- Refrigerate the jar for at least 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
- When ready to serve, remove the pickles from the brine with a fork to serve.
Notes
Refrigerator pickles can generally last in the fridge for up to 3-4 weeks, provided they are stored in a clean, airtight container and kept submerged in the brine.
