Half Sour Pickles

Step 1

Wash your cucumbers.

Step 2

Dissolve your sea salt in the water.

Step 3

Grind up all the dry ingredients (coriander, mustard seeds, peppercorns, 2 bay leaves). If you don’t have a mortar/pestle, throw it in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.

Step 4

Put the cucumbers in your jar.

Step 5

Put the minced garlic in the jar, then ground up spices, then pour the salt water mixture on top. If you have any water left, disregard it.

Step 6

Add a few pieces of fresh dill on top.

Step 7

Add in your additional coriander seeds, peppercorns and bay leaf. If you're using pickle crisp for extra crunch (see recipe notes), I put them in right now.

Step 8

Make sure your cucumbers are completely covered in water and close the jar. Give the jar a shake to mix.

Step 9

Put in the refrigerator. Let them sit for at least 4 days before eating.

Step 10

Enjoy!
