I've posted Lovina's recipe for homemade "freezer pickles" several times on this website, but what about "refrigerator pickles?"  A reader recently sent me a yellowed clipping of one of Elizabeth Coblentz's old columns.  The date is August 23, 2000 and she shares her recipe for refrigerator pickles:

 

1 cup vinegar

1 tablespoon salt

2 cups white sugar

6 cups sliced cucumbers

1 cup sliced onions

1 cup sliced green peppers

 

Heat first 3 ingredients to boiling until sugar is dissolved.  Pour mixture over cucumbers, onions, and peppers.  Put into covered contained and refrigerate.
