    DELI-STYLE DILL PICKLES
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Delicatessen-style dill pickles are not subjected to
    any kind of heat treatment. They are prized for their
    crispness but must be stored in the refrigerator. The
    following recipe for deli-style dills contains no vinegar;
    some lactic acid is produced during the brief fermentation
    period.
    HALF DILLS
    1/2 bushel small pickling cucumbers
    1/2 bunch dill
    3 gallons water
    2 cups pickling salt
    5 garlic cloves, sliced
    3/4 cup mixed pickling spices
    Wash cucumbers. Remove blossom ends carefully to
    remove soil. Place cucumbers in large crocks. Distribute
    the dill heads evenly. Make a brine of the remaining items
    and add to the cucumbers. Cover with a heavy plate and
    weight down with a glass jar filled with water.
    Store at moderate room temperature (70 to 75 degrees
    Fahrenheit). If scum forms, remove it daily. Pickles may
    be eaten after third day but well done pickles need a 1-week
    fermentation. After 1 week, pack the pickles into clean
    jars and refrigerate to halt fermentation. These pickles
    must be kept in the refrigerator.

    I would like to thank Nancy_AZ for the refrigerator dill pickles. I have wondered if there was a recipe for dill pickles as I have always made refrigerator sweet pickles. They take 14 days total to make. Very good and stay for a year in the refrigerator. I just emptied the gallon jar from last year.
