GARLIC DILL PICKLES: homemade goodness that is so easy to make, rich in probiotics & good bacteria and so beneficial for your gut! ❤️

The base recipe is just cucumbers, water and salt but feel free to add garlic, dill, spicy peppers or peppercorns.

• INGREDIENTS •
8 cups (2L) filtered water
1/4 cup (60g) sea salt
20 small Persian cucumbers
1 garlic head, peeled
1 bunch fresh dill
3-4 bay leaves

• EQUIPMENT •
1 gallon (3.8L) glass jar
fermentation weight

• METHOD •
Add the salt to water and stir until fully dissolved. Place cucumbers, garlic, dill and bay leaves into a clean 1 gallon (3.8L) jar.

Pour the salt water into the jar up until the top. The vegetables need to be fully covered with salt brine to prevent bad bacteria growth. Place a fermenting weight on top to help keep the vegetables submerged and put in a dark spot to ferment for 1-3 weeks. Place a plate underneath to collect any overflowing liquid without making a mess.

Open or ‘burp’ the jar carefully twice a day to avoid pressure build up and potential jar breakage. Once done, move to the fridge to slow down fermentation. The pickles can be stored in the fridge for several months.

  2. That color of water happened to my jar pickles that is bought its like white this is a scam than its gone taste a wierd smell and its not good for u bc it could make u sick and its very soft when u touch it so its not good

  3. Mom made these pickles with Chicago pickling pickles, lots of Dill, more salt and lots O Garlic , Marjoram in Giant Crock Pots with upside down plate and brick on top and something else I can’t remember.
    Adding a thin towel on top. Crispy, non refrigerated Dill Pickles. A month or more or less and they were ready.

    I miss them
