Homemade Dill Pickles
February 15, 2017
Crispy, crunchy and oh so tasty! One bite of these homemade spears and you'll never go back to store-bought pickles again. The dill adds a bright sweet and soft flavor to complement the sourness of the pickles.

Directions
1In a ball jar, add your sliced or coined pickles, garlic cloves, dill and spice mixture.
2In a seperate bowl, mixing sea salt in water. This makes the brine for the pickles.
3Once mixed, pour brine over picles and spices.
4Leave about 2-3 inches of space.
5Cover the jar with a tight lid, airlock lid, or coffee filter secured with a rubber band.
6Let sit and ferment at room temperature (60-70°F is preferred) until desired flavor and texture are achieved.
7Make sure to store pickles away from direct sunlight or heat.
8If using a tight lid, burp daily to release excess pressure. The brine should turn cloudy and bubbly, and the pickles should taste sour when done.
9Eat right away, or store in a refrigerator or root cellar for months and enjoy them for up to a year.
*Don't have time to let the brine and pickles ferment? Try adding 1 cup organic apple cider vinegar to the jar and ingredients and pop right into the fridge.
