8 steps

Ingredients

  • cucumber
  • dill (to taste)
  • garlic (to taste)
  • 1 quart water
  • 1/4 cup vinegar (I use white)
  • 6 tablespoons canning salt
  • 1 slice dark rye bread

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut ends off cucumbers and wash.
  2. 2
    Pack the cucumbers in jar with dill and garlic to taste.
  3. 3
    (I prefer fresh dill from my garden--usually two to four dill heads. Four garlic cloves seems to hit the happy medium mark for the whole family--the garlic flavor does get stronger as they stand though.) Stir together the warm water, vinegar and canning salt, then pour over the cucumbers.
  4. 4
    Place the slice of dark rye bread on top.
  5. 5
    Put lid on loosely.
  6. 6
    Set in the sun for four days.
  7. 7
    Take the rye bread off.
  8. 8
    Chill for two days and then you can use them.
