Finally got to my first batch of crock pickles !
Salt pickles also know as refidgerator pickles are what is known as a lactose fermentation. Salt pickles are easy to make and great for you.
My recipe
Stuff a quart jar full of washed cucumbers .
then ad 2 heads of dill 2 garlic and a few coriander seed too the jar. Then stir 5 table spoons of sea salt.(I use half himilayan salt) into a cup of Luke warm water.
Pour over the pickles add water as necessary to top off the jar. Wait . Put a lid on loose enough to allow pressure to escape. Now if you want to ferment slow so you have them later in the year stick them in the fridge. Io am looking for a quick ferment so I am sticking them in a dark corner. Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for results.
Great post! I think I will try this with some of mine also.

Something that I'd like to try as my pickled cucumbers became soggy and not nice to eat,following.
I make these too...I also throw a couple bay leaves into the jar. The tannins in them supposedly help keep the pickles crisp.
yes it does!
I love lacto fermentation!!! yummy!
