If you've not tried fermented pickles, or "sour" pickles, you're in for a treat! These pickles do not use vinegar, but salt water and the natural fermentation process of the cucumbers. They're rich in probiotics and are absolutely delicious! For those not interesting in recipes, we have Bubbies fermented pickles for sale at the store, which are seriously delicious (I ate a whole jar in one sitting- just saying).
Ingredients:
- 24 (or so) small 4"-5" pickling cucumbers
- 6 cloves garlic, ends removed and smashed
- 6 bay leaves
- 2 1/2 tbls pickling spice (cloves, coriander, allspice, pepper, mustard seeds)
- Fresh Dill
- 6 tbls large granule sea salt (kosher salt)
