LAZY DAY REFRIGERATOR PICKLES    

    6       cups           sliced cucumbers -- peeled or not
    1       cup             sliced onions
    1       cup             vinegar -- (5% on label)
    1/2    cup             water
    1 1/4 cups           sugar
    1       teaspoon    pickling salt
    1       teaspoon    celery seed
    1/2    teaspoon    mustard seed
    2       cloves        garlic -- crushed

In a large bowl, combine cucumbers and onions. Mix well. In a large saucepan,
combine all remaining ingredients except garlic. Bring to a boil. Stir to
dissolve sugar. Pour hot vinegar mixture over cucumber mixture and mix well.
Place one garlic clove in each hot, sterilized quart jar or half a clove in a
pint jar. Immediately fill jars with cucumbers and seal. Refrigerate 24 hours
to meld flavors. You can also prepare this in a crock and cover well to store
in refrigerator. Unlike most pickles, these are ready in 24 hours. Store,
refrigerated, up to two months.
