Step-by-Step Instructions for Crunchy Fermented Dill Pickles
- Wash your fresh pickling cucumbers under cool running water, pat dry, and trim off both ends.
- In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of spring water to a boil. Add the salt and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Layer the bottom of a clean quart-sized glass jar with dill flowers and firmly pack the cucumbers in.
- Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are submerged.
- Loosely cap the jar and place it in a cool, dark spot at room temperature for about 5 days.
- Once fermented, tighten the lid and refrigerate your pickles.
