Fermented Dill Pickles
- 46 oz jar sterilized
- 8 medium pickling cucumbers
- 1 1/4 pints water
- 6 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp whole pepper corns, black
- 2 clove garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tbsp dill weed
- 2 tbsp dill seed
- 1 gallon zip lock bag
- 1 water
- Take the jar fill with cucumbers.
- Add dill weed and seed.
- Add crushed garlic.
- Take the water hot from the tap add salt and desolve the salt.
- Pour it over the contents of the jar.
- Take the zip lock bag add water cover over the opening of jar.
- This will allow gases to escape safely.
- Put in a cool dry place.
- Let sit 6 - 7 days when bubbles have quit rising.
- Check it a couple of times a day to skim the scum off top if any gets on bag rinse it off.
- Once this happens, cover the jar loosely and place in the refrigerator for 3 days, skimming daily or as needed.
- Store for up to 2 months in the refrigerator, skimming as needed.
- If the pickles should become soft or begin to take on an off odor, this is a sign of spoilage and they should be throwed out.
- I put a cucumber across the rest that fit tight to keep the rest below the brine at least 2 inches.
- This is important.
- The longer the stay in the brine the more sour they become.
