I can't figure out where to put this, so please feel free to move it.
I need a good, tried and true recipe for making refrigerator pickles or relish - either cucumber or zucchini. I'm hoping to find one that someone already uses and knows that it works. I don't want to have to process it for canning but want the recipe for the types that last a good while in the refrigerator.
Any help greatly appreciated.

And one more..
1 Quart Sliced Unpeeled Cucumbers* -- 1/4 inch thick
1/2 Cup Thinly Sliced Onions -- about 4 ounces
2 Garlic Clove Peeled And Quartered
1 1/2 Tbs Salt
2 Trays Ice Cubes**
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
3/4 Cup Distilled White Vinegar
2 1/4 Teaspoons Mixed Pickling Spices
*1 1/2 pounds, or 2 1/2 cucumbers, scrubbed, ends discarded.
**Or 2 quarts crushed ice
Drain sliced cucumbers on rack. Combine cucumbers, onions, and garlic. Add
salt; mix thoroughly. Cover with crushed ice or ice cubes. Set aside for 3
hours. Remove garlic cloves. Drain thoroughly in colander. Pour sugar,
vinegar, and pickling spices into 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add
drained cucumber and onion spices. If you are making refrigerator pickles:
- Heat 15 minutes.
- Pour into hot, clean jars.
- Set jars upright to cool.
- Store in refrigerator (since the pickles have not been processed).
** this one is my favourite as far as taste. **
Enjoy
