I have a small garden. I decided to plant some cucumbers this year.  I am getting more cucumbers than I can eat daily in a salad.  So, I decided to try making some pickled cucumbers.  So far, I had enough for a very small batch. That is fine. 

Here's my question: if I would try some refrigerator pickles, could I start with, say, a gallon size glass jar, put in some pickles, onions, brine, etc?  then add more to the jar the following week if/when I have more to add, and then again the following week?  or do I need to do a whole jar at once? 

With canning pickles, I need to do a batch. I think you can see that. However, if I could add to a jar of refrigerator pickles, I could see the advantage of doing that. At least from my perspective of having small amounts.

Your thoughts?
