Easy, No-Cook Pickles

Ahh, crispy refreshing pickles.  Perfect for all the summertime menus we love-- barbecues, burgers, potato salads, veggie platters.  And great just for snacking, too.

 Here's the best way to use the bounties of summer to make Refrigerator Pickles-- and they keep for a year! (Kids will love helping you with this)

6 Cups sliced cucumbers (rounds, spears, whatever you like best)
1 Cup other veggies, optional-- here's where you can add sliced onion, carrots, red pepper, or cauliflower
2 Cups sugar
1 Cup vinegar
1 Tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed

Simply combine everything in a large bowl, spoon into jars, and refrigerate for 24 hours.  Ta-da!  You are a now a pickle master!
