Ingredients for 1 jar of pickles:

• 8g kosher salt

• 1 cup water

• enough pickles to fill 1 qt jar

• 5 whole peppercorns

• 2-3 sprigs fresh dill

• Half head of garlic peeled

• Optional spice add-ins: dill seed, coriander, caraway, dried or fresh chilis

Step 1: Dissolve salt in the water

Step 2: Add cucumber, garlic, peppercorns and fresh dill to the jar

Step 3: Add any other optional spices or flavorings

Step 4: Add salt water until all the cucumbers are submerged

Step 5: Put a lid on the jar and label with the date

Step 6: and leave it on the counter for 24 hours

Step 7: Refrigerate for another 7-10 days depending on how sour you like your pickles.

Enjoy for up to 1 month after making.

My favorite spice combos include:

garlic, (2) chili peppers and some lemon peel

garlic, whole coriander, whole caraway and whole mustard seed

garlic, onion, whole mustard seed, whole coriander

NOTES: NEVER use iodized salt when pickling. This is why I recommend kosher salt.

Feel free to cut the cucumbers into any shape or size you like.
