Viola! fermented dill pickled! Dissolve 1/2 cup salt into 1 gallon of cold water. Pour over clean cucumbers. Add garlic, chili, dill, mustard seeds, other spices. Sit at room temp covered and in dark cool space for 6 days until tart. Refrigerate. #pickleprojects #pickles #recipe #fermentation #cucumbers #food
