Crunchy natural pickles
Fresh picked cucs or as fresh as you can get
Scrub them clean
Stuff the bottom of quart size jar with cucs standing vertical
2 gloves of garlic...smashed
2 bay leaves
tablespoon of pickling spices (cloves, coriander, allspice, pepper, mustard seeds)
Then pack jar full of more cucs and some dill of top
Fill jar with salt brine (1 quart of filtered water with 6 tbls of salt until it dissolves---good for 3 batches)
Put lid on and give it a good shake.
Place in a cool dark place for 2 weeks making sure to burp the jar after 7 days (pop lid off---let the gases out--then reseal)
After 2 weeks water will be cloudy..ready to sample a pickle
They should be crunchy, kinda sour and a bit 'fizzy'
