Instructions

  1. Place mustard seeds, 1 clove garlic, and dill in a sterilized 1-quart jar.

  2. Tightly pack pickling cucumbers into the jar, positioning one horizontally to ensure submersion, then add the remaining garlic clove.

  3. Dissolve salt in bottled water and fill the jar with the brine to 1/4 inch from the top.

  4. Loosely cover the jar with a sterilized cap and store in a cool, dark place (55-60 F) for five to six weeks, using a tray to manage potential brine overflow.

  5. Once fermentation is complete, tighten the lid; after opening, refrigerate the pickles for up to six months.
