Nutrition & ingredients

Ingredients

½ gallon
  • 2- 2 1/2 lbs pickling cucumbers– all similar size ( 5 inches)
  • 5 cups filtered water or tap water (that is not overly chlorinated)
  • 2 tablespoons fine sea salt or Himalayan salt (or basically one heaping teaspoon fine sea salt (7 grams) per one cup of water, to make a 3% brine.) * see notes.
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional, adds a “fresh” flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon each: fennel seeds, coriander seeds, allspice, peppercorns, dill seeds, mustard seeds, celery seeds- and feel free to add more peppercorns!
  • 10-20 garlic cloves, sliced (or double for extra garlicky)
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • big handful of fresh dill
  • 1-3 fresh red chilies – or dried arbol chilies, or add chili flakes (all optional)
  • 3-4 bay leaves (or a grape leaf or oakleaf) – these are sources of tannic acid to help them stay crisp.
