June is almost too early, but when fresh pickling cucumbers like these appear at the local Asian market, it's time for crispy, crunchy homemade refrigerator pickles. Mine is a small-batch recipe for Easy Refrigerator Pickles, and they are yummy. Fresh dill and a Bay leaf gathered from my very own garden make home canning a happy event in my kitchen.
