Homemade Refridgerator Pickles.... (these ARE from "Scratch")

   My most recent project is these great and easy refrigerator pickles.
                      
   This is a super easy recipe I have broken it down to the cup so you can fill whatever size jars you need.
   So for every cup of water add 1 tablespoon of Cannin or Kosher salt and 2 tablespoons of  White Vinegar (these are very salty and after your first batch you may decide to cut the salt down a little bit) .  Before you fill your jar with Cucumbers (of whatever shape you have cut them into) add some minced garlic (about a teaspoon and 1/2 ) and if you like spicy pickles  use pepper seeds as well. Add a few sprigs of dill or dill paste.... just add dill, put in your cucumber and cover with  your brine (I sometimes put the garlic in the brine it all settles) I also put dill on top close the lid and put them in the back of the fridge so no one sees them for 2 days.
   I always seem to start eating them after 1 day but they are better after 2.
