First batch of cucumber pickles. I like a head of garlic, 4 serrano peppers, 6 dill flower heads, pepper corns, mustard seed, celery seed, coriander seed, and stuff the top with raspberries leaves to hold everything in place. I use 3 tablespoons of real salt per quart of liquid.

Yum!!! I love pickled anything…apart from eggs, they can do one.

How long do you leave out until refridgeration? Ive been going about 2 days or once it goes cloudy. I also lowered the salt to 2 tsp per qt. We will see

If it’s hot out it is usually ready in 3 days. But if we are going through a cool spell 5 to 7 days.

Cloudy and some times I pull a pickle out to taste.

3 tablespoons is salty but my batches have been staying relatively crunchy for up to a year. That being said I try 2 tablespoons.
