Half-Sour Pickles

Feel free to add or subtract as you like – the garlic and chili flakes in particular – but a little goes a long way. I usually found that 10 days in the fridge was the earliest they were good.

Ingredients

  • 1200 g water
  • 36 g salt
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • Small bunch of dill
  • Black peppercorn
  • Chili flakes

Instructions

  • Wash the cucumbers.
  • Combine everything in a 2 or 4 quart container. Take some of the brine and fill a sandwich Ziplock bag – this is the water weight for the cucumbers.
  • Put the lid on and refrigerate for 8-10 days. They’ll keep for months covered and in the fridge.
