I thought this would be the hardest of all fermentation processes but turns out it’s the easiest! I got great tips from Mendy Margolin, “The Pickling Rabbi,” who travels around the world demonstrating traditional kosher delicacies.

Ingredients

Sour Pickles

  • 7 to 8 Kirby cucumbers

  • water, to fill the jar halfway

  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons salt

  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons pickling spice

  • 7 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 2 sprigs fresh dill (optional)

Directions

1.

Fill a six-cup mason jar halfway with water. Place the cucumbers in the jar. Smash the garlic cloves and add them to the jar. Add salt and pickling spice.

2.

Fully cover and leave in the fridge to ferment till they become sour pickles! Half sour pickles will be ready to enjoy after five to seven days of fermentation and full sour pickles can take up to a month.

Tips:

No sugar or vinegar needed; all the natural sweet and sour flavors will come through the fermenting process with garlic and salt.

Notes:

Only use the dill for half sour pickles, since it won’t last well for more than five days in the jar.
