Quick, refrigerated pickles are easy to do with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. This recipe was created and developed by Kris & Matt James, sons of our VP Trish James during Take Your Child to Work Day. Let the jars sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours so the cucumbers can pickle. Add as little or as much garlic and red pepper flakes as you want depending on how spicy you like your pickles.
