Apple Refrigerator Pickles

I was trying to come up with a way to use up a bunch of apples we had in our fridge. Eventually I decided to just pickle them refrigerator-style. This is the result.

Step: 1

Place the water, cider vinegar, sugar, allspice, clove, nutmeg, and ginger into a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Step: 2

Meanwhile, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, and pack into two sterilized 1 quart canning jars with lids and rings. Pour the boiling syrup over the apples, and affix the lids and rings.

Step: 3

Allow the jars to stand at room temperature until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Place in the refrigerator, and wait 1 week before opening.

Deciding stay in and make food your dinner instead of eat in the evening out is already a step in the right way if you’re focusing on eating healthier. There’s no good way to know precisely what’s going into the food you’re eat than by making it yourself! Making the best of the main dish is only half the process , though . And once you’ve perfected your chicken, steak, or fish, that is time to make your attention to the ever- important side dishes.

A side dish can easily derail your health goals, as sugar , sodium, fat, and calories would all get rather high quickly if you’re not think about it . But with our good practise of cook on side dish recipes, you won’t ever run into that mistakes .
