Fermented Pickles
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Slice your cucumbers into spears or slices.
- 2Slice up some red or white onion.
- 3Add the cucumbers and the onions to quart-sized wide-mouth mason jars.
- 4Peel and slice some garlic cloves in half and add those to the jar as well.
- 5Add whatever seasonings you want; I did dill in one jar and mustard seed in the other.
- 6Add two tablespoons of salt to each jar, then top off with some filtered water.
- 7Add some weights to keep the contents submerged under water, here I used rocks (washed with soap and water).
- 8Put the lids on, place on your counter, and then put a towel over top to keep them dark.
- 9Burp the jars each day by loosening the top and tightening it back down.

Tips
- When sizing up your spears, make sure you leave about 2 inches of head space.
- If you're going to be slicing your cucumbers, make sure you slice them thick or they may get soggy on you.
- Burp the jars each day by loosening the top and tightening it back down.
- Store in your fridge after 3 days.
