Refrigerator Pickles

Today I made my first ever batch of refrigerator pickles! I had enough of my 'Adam' cucumbers to fill a pint jar. So I sorta combined a few recipes that I found online. Here's my recipe:

5 pickling cucumbers (halved or speared)
1/4 of a medium white onion, sliced and quartered.
2 cups water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 Tbs Kosher salt
1 Tbs sugar
3 sprigs of fresh Dill
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
red, black, and white peppercorns
celery seed

First sterilize the glass mason jar by boiling it in a large pot of water for 10 minutes. Let cool.

Combine the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar and bring to a boil. Let cool slightly.

Cut a small piece off of the flower end of each cucumber. Poke a few holes in each with a fork if leaving whole, otherwise half or spear.

Begin filling the mason jar. Put some of the garlic, dill, celery seed, onions, and peppercorns on the bottom, followed by a layer of cucumbers standing upright. Follow with some additional onions and spices.

Pour water and vinegar solution over the cucumbers and fill the jar, leaving about 1/4 inch of space on the top.

Cover and refrigerate for 1-5 days.

That's it! As I said this is my first time making these - so I really have no idea how they will come out. I'll let you know in a week!
