ICE CREAM PAIL REFRIGERATOR PICKLES
The method and proportions make this recipe a bit different. Allowing the salted vegetables to sit for a few hours draws out the water and allows the cucumbers to stay crisp and crunchy, just how we like them. The pickled cucumbers will keep in the fridge at least a month or two, but I can't say exactly how long.....they never last that long!!! Recipe from my late Mother-in-Law.

Steps:
- Peel and slice cucumbers thinly, filling ice cream pail as you go to 3/4 full.
- Mix with the additional vegetables and stir in salt, distributing well.
- Cover and let stand 2 - 4 hours on counter.
- Drain off the liquid (I like to rinse and drain again to remove some of the salt).
- In ice cream pail combine brine ingredients and stir well. Do not worry if the sugar doesn't dissolve completely - it will on its own.
- Mix in cucumbers and other vegetables, cover, and refrigerate.
- The next day stir again.
- Note: The brine won't cover the cucumbers completely at first so stir once a day. The cucumbers will release additional liquid over time.
- Cooking time is standing time.
