Tips

  • This next step is commonly skipped, but I highly recommend tossing the veggies with the salt and letting them sit in the fridge for two to three hours. This is called sweating and it draws out moisture from the cucumbers helping them stay crisp for longer.
  • For the best flavor, you need to wait at least one to two weeks before opening them, but trust me, it's worth it for flavor-infused crunchy pickles.
