Instructions

1. The first step to make half sour pickles is to put the salt into 3 cups water and mix until salt is dissolved.

2. Place washed cucumbers into jar along with the garlic and spices. You are almost done with your half sour pickle recipe, I told you it was easy!

3. Pour the salt water mixture into the jar to a level that covers the cucumbers. If necessary add more water. If the cucumbers float, weigh them down with a clean glass or bowl. They must be covered by the water, any that are exposed will rot. There is nothing worse than rotten half sour pickles!

4. Cover loosely with a paper towel, do not seal. Let sit out on the counter for 3 to 4 days. You want to see the little bubbles form, this means your half sour pickles are fermenting and the recipe is going well.

5. Move to the refrigerator and chill and you've done it! You made half sour pickles.
