Hydroponically grown cucumbers won’t do for this recipe! Soil grown cucumbers can be found usually during summertime

Soak the cucumbers in a deep bowl for at least 2 hours but no more than 24 hours

Peel and slice the garlic cloves.

Rinse the cucumbers and wash all soil leftovers

Stack up cucumbers in the jar.

Put slices of garlic and a few Allspice seeds in between layers

Make sure the cucumbers don’t reach the top of the jar

Fill a measuring cup with tap water and pour it into the jar. Add enough water to cover all the cucumbers. Make sure you count the number of water cups you add.

Wash the dill. If it’s bundled with rubber tape – remove it.

Lay the dill on top of the cucumbers. No need to push it, just lay it

Place it near a window or where you can get a little bit of sunshine. You don’t need direct sun, just some light a few hours a day.

Leave it there for at least 72 hours. It might take longer if you don’t have enough sunshine.

This is how it looks after 72 hours. As you can see, the water is cloudy, and the cucumbers have changed colour completely.

Move the jar to the fridge. If treated properly, it will last for at least a month, meaning, don’t shove your fingers into it. Instead, use a clean fork to grab those yummy crunchy sticks.

  They are fermented not pickled. Much healthier and great for your gut.
