    27 Quick Pickles - Refrigerator Recipes for Your Garden Bounty | The Good Hearted Woman

    Quick Pickles are delicious, small-batch friendly, and super easy to make. Plus, they require no special equipment and are usually ready to eat within a day or two of preparation.

    Collage of quick pickles fruits and vegetables.

    Quick pickles, also known as refrigerator pickles, are simply vegetables that are pickled in a vinegar, water, and salt solution and stored in the refrigerator. (Depending on the recipe, the solution may also include sugar and other spices.) 

    Our garden is bursting at the seams right now, and we are hustling to preserve all that fresh garden bounty, and one of our favorite ways to do that is pickling. (Yeah, I know, Portland. We can pickle that.)

    Our fridge is crammed with tart, tangy quick pickles that will last us through the next couple of months until our traditionally canned, "real" pickles have had time to percolate in their jars out on the pantry shelves.
