Easy Apple Refrigerator Pickles Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup cider vinegar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon whole allspice berries
• 1 tablespoon whole cloves
• 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 6 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
• 0.5 cup lemon juice

Instructions

1. Check quart-sized jars for any damage like cracks or rust on the rings. Discard any damaged jars. Submerge the jars in simmering water until the apple pickles are ready. Wash new lids and rings in warm, soapy water.
2. In a small saucepan, combine water, cider vinegar, sugar, allspice berries, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice in a bowl. Then, pack the apple slices tightly into the hot, sterilized jars.
4. Pour the boiling sugar syrup over the apples in the jars, leaving ¼ inch of space at the top. Clean the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel to remove any residue. Place the lids on top and screw the rings on tightly. Allow the jars to cool at room temperature for approximately 2 hours.
5. Gently press the center of each lid to ensure a proper seal. Place the jars in the refrigerator and let them sit for at least one week before opening.
