L&B Refrigerator Dill Pickles
These homemade savory pickles are not only tasty but deliciously quick and easy. All you do is slice your cucumbers, cover them with your brine and pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. If you prefer your pickles a little on the spicier side, add 2-5 thinly sliced chili peppers to your mix. No matter how you make them, they’re a delightful addition to your homemade sandwiches, on a relish tray or just straight out of the jar as a snack!
