If you have ever grown cucumbers or zucchini then you know that you will be blessed with an abundance of each by summers end. Today's recipe for Refrigerator Sweet Pickles is from the cucumbers, onions and bell peppers that we harvested late last summer. For some reason I forgot to post this recipe on my blog and it's too good not to post.

By the time your cucumber plants start producing they can get out of control pretty quickly yielding 3-4 cukes per vine per day. Before you know it you'll have cucumbers growing out of your ears. This recipe is a great way to use cucumbers and onions from your garden, but in my case, cucumbers, onions and bell peppers.

I found this recipe last year on one of my favorite blogs and I've made it 3 times since finding it. The best part about this recipe is that these crunchy pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 months without having to be processed.These sweet-crunchy pickles are easy to throw together and perfect for sharing with family and friends. I hope you'll give this recipe a try!

I love pickles. As soon as they come home from the store, they're gone. I'm going to try this with my dad's cucumbers.

This is fantastic. I grew cucumbers for years and had such good luck with them. We literally had to give so many away. This recipe sounds like the perfect way to can and store or even give as gifts.

Is that your garden already? you must live someplace warm! I was just able to plant mine this week - we are still in the 40's at night around here. My grandmother used to make those pickles - SO good!!

OMG I love pickled vegetables but never thought to pickle my own! I really have to give this a try! Do you have to include the sugar? Is it too sour without it? We try not to use any sugar in anything because of our kids - We don't even have any in the house.

@Tiarasandtrantrums no, that was last years garden. We do live in Texas so we can start a bit earlier than others it just depends on the weather.

This is a nice recipe, my grandma prepares pickle for our family. I am sure going to give her a few ideas from this and force her to make this one, I like pickles so much with each meal.

I canned some pickles a couple of years ago. I haven't canned since, but those turned out alright. They weren't as good looking as these, but they were alright.

I think you could use yellow squash with no problems. I also have a recipe for zucchini pickles that might work as well.
