How to cook deliciously - Ukrainian Dill and Garlic Pickles

1. Stage

Soak cucumbers in cold water overnight.

2. Stage

Sterilize a 1 gallon glass or ceramic container. Combine water and salt in a large pot and bring to a boil. Prepare cucumbers by trimming the ends and making a slit in the sides with a small sharp knife.

3. Stage

In the bottom of the sterile container, place several stalks of dill, half of garlic cloves, about 10 peppercorns, and a slice or two of red chile pepper. Arrange half of cucumbers over seasonings and then repeat the layers. When brine comes to a boil, pour over cucumbers to cover. Place a small plate on top of pickles to keep them submerged. Store in a cool place.

4. Stage

Pickles will be ready in 4 to 10 days, depending on how warm it is. Once they have fermented to your liking, refrigerate until using.
