Lacto-Fermented Spicy Dill
Pickled Cucumber
3
organic cucumbers washed and sliced
1 head of dill
1 garlic clove
1 jalapeno pepper cut in half
1 Tbls. mustard seed
1 Tbls. sea salt
4 Tbls. whey
2 cups water (I use
reverse
osmosis)
Clean
a 1 quart jar. Put the head of dill in the bottom along with the garlic
clove, jalapeno pepper, and mustard seeds. Then layer the sliced
cucumbers in the jar leaving 1 inch at the top of the jar. Mix the
salt, whey, and water. Pour over cucumbers again leaving an inch at the
top of the jar. Cover
with the ball jar lid.
Set it on the counter for 2 days. Then store in the
refigerator.
These
pickles are tangy. The fresher the cucumbers the better. If you can
pick them from the garden and pickle them that day, it will be crispier
depending on the moisture content.
