I don't know if you want refrigerator pickle recipes or canning recipes but here are a couple tried & true ones that I make:

Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles

3 c. vinegar
4 c. sugar
1/4 c. canning salt
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. celery salt
1 tsp. mustard seed
1 tsp. pickling spice
1 tsp. alum
Cucumbers
Onions

Fill a gallon jar ¾ full of the onions and cucumbers.
Bring rest of ingredients for syrup to a boil and pour over veggies.
Let cool and refrigerate. Keep in refrigerator; they will keep a long time.

Lime Sweet Pickles

7 lb (2 gallons) cucumbers, sliced 1/4" thick
2 cups hydrated lime

Syrup:
5 lbs sugar
3 pints vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 tsp celery seed
1 T. salt
1 T. mixed pickling spices

Mix pickle ingredients together.
Soak for 24 hours.
Wash in clean water.
Let set 4 hours in clean water.
Mix ingredients for syrup.
Bring to a boil and pour over pickles.
Let stand over night.

Next day, bring all to a boil and simmer 30 - 35 minutes.
Add green food coloring and put in jars and seal.

These are so easy and are really good!
Making Sweet Pickles From a Jar of Dills

Drain 1 gallon of whole dill pickles; slice fairly thick.
Put in large bowl and pour 8 cups sugar over pickle slices.
Cover and let set overnight (will make juice).
Stir several times.

Pour slices and juice back in jar. Refrigerate.
