#1405 - Refrigerator Pickles

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 gallon glass jar with lid (NOT plastic)
small fresh pickles OR cucumber slices (enough to fill jar--do not peel--wash first)
1 quart cider vinegar
1 quart water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup powdered horseradish
1/2 cup powdered mustard

In a large pot add cider vinegar, water, white sugar, salt, powdered horseradish and powdered mustard--stir until mixed and powders have dissolved. Fill the glass jar with pickles or cucumbers to within 1/2" of the top of the jar. Pour the vinegar mix slowly over the pickles/cucumbers in the jar. Put the lid on tightly and refrigerate 4 days before eating.
