Tips
- Pickling cucumbers are best, but any small cucumber will do.
- Cutting off the blossom end of cucumbers helps ensure a crunchy pickle. Or snip both ends.
- Pack the cucumbers in tight to prevent them from rising above the water level.
- The longer the pickles sit, the more sour they will become.
- After 4 days, the pickles are ready.
