Makes 1 Liter Glass Jar full of dill pickles2 Small Packs of Baby Cucumbers

All Spice, optionalHow To Make Homemade Dill Pickles
First, begin by washing and removing the ends of each cucumbers. Next, place the washed, fresh dill and garlic cloves into the jar. Finely slice the Jalapeno and add it to the jar.
Tightly cram the cucumbers into the jar, so they don’t juggle. This is important because otherwise when we add the water they’ll float and anything above the brine will eventually grow mold. This is important for all fermented foods, not just dill pickles.
Once you’ve finished engineering those cucumbers into the jar, add the sea salt.
For this, dissolve a tablespoon of sea salt with a little bit of filtered water at room temperature- the use of filtered water rather than tap water is really just because water tastes different everywhere. If your tap water tastes good then you shouldn’t have a problem.
Add it to the jar, then fill it up with water until you’ve covered the cucumbers. Leave about half an inch (1 cm) of room on top.
Close the jar, then place it on a small plate, and leave at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, for 3 – 5 days until the color starts to change. When it does, transfer to the fridge. Your dill pickles are ready when you’re pleased with the taste. Keep them stored in the fridge for months, and enjoy!
