    Thanks for the reminder! I used to make refrigerator pickles all the time. I just made a batch after finding some mini-cukes for a decent price at an Asian market. This is a good basic recipe. If you stop at pickles (bread and butter style) you may want to add turmeric for color or curry powder for color and kick as well as more sweetener; the mustard seeds are a must for that type. If all the veg are not immediately submerged, shake jar and check back to shake again as the salt in the brine will draw out more liquid from the veg. The best cucumbers to use are pickling cukes or Kirby but any will do in a pinch. Be sure to reuse the brine in salad dressings or to brine chicken before barbecuing – so much flavor left there. It is so good to avoid the Sucralose and rubbery sugar-free pickles from the grocery store. Thanks again for the reminder – ate half a jar already!.

    These look amazing! I found this recipe while looking for answers on how to pickle without the monkfruit crystallizing when heated with the vinegar and spices. Is the trick to not let it boil? I was so disappointed in mine as it was a huge waste of monkfruit. I will try yours soon!!

    • Thank you. Yes monkfruit does sometimes crystalize especially after it has been heated. When I use the brown monkfruit/allulose blend I didn’t have that issue. You can also use granulated or straight allulose but you may need to use a little bit more depending on how sweet you like your pickles.
