These sour pickles are flavored with garlic and dill making them the perfect combination of healthy, crunchy and tangy.  This recipe produces a lot of pickles, enough to share with friends.

 

Ingredients

1 gallon (16 cups) of pickling cucumbers, non-waxed

2 bunches of fresh dill

16 cloves of whole peeled garlic

3 Tbsp. spices – peppercorns, mustard seeds, bay leaves, cloves

5 – 6 Tbsp. sea salt

 

Instructions

Soak the cucumbers in cold water for a few hours then scrub them thoroughly to prevent any mold from forming during the fermentation process.

Place the cucumbers, dill, garlic and spices in your fermentation jar and sprinkle a bit of sea salt as you go along.

Prepare a brine of 5 tablespoons sea salt to 8 cups water, making sure to stir well to dissolve the salt, and fill the fermentation jar with the brine so it covers the cucumbers.

Cover the jar, place it in a warm spot in your kitchen and allow the cucumbers to ferment for 5 to 10 days.

A good way to know when it’s ready is to taste it during the fermentation process. It’s ready when you’re satisfied with the taste.
