Ingredients
DAY 1
  • 7-8 lbs of 3-4 inch pickling cucumbers
  • 1 cup sea salt
DAY 2
Brine
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 7 cups filtered water
  • 6½ cups white vinegar
Add-ins
  • You’ll make a total of 7 jars. I chose to make each jar a bit different. Instead of listing total ingredients, I’ve listed the quantity of items for 1 jar. If you just want to make 1 kind of pickle from the list below, just multiply the ingredients by 7 to get the total.
  • What you’ll need for each jar, no matter what flavor you choose:
  • 5 bunches of dill weed separated into 14 portions
Spicy dill
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 6 peppercorns
  • 1 portion dill weed
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon mustard seed
  • Top with: 4 cloves garlic and 1 portion dill weed
Garlic dill
