Soak the cucumbers in cold water for a few hours then scrub them thoroughly to prevent any mold from forming during the fermentation process.
1 gallon 16 cups pickling cucumbers, unwaxed
Place the cucumbers, dill, garlic and spices in your fermentation jar and sprinkle a bit of sea salt as you go along.
2 bunches fresh dill, 16 cloves garlic, 3 tablespoon pickling spices, 2 onions, ¼ cup sea salt
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.
5 or 6 tablespoon sea salt
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.
