Kosher Jewish Pickles, also known as dill pickles, are a popular snack in Jewish cuisine. These tangy and crunchy pickles are made through a process of lactic acid fermentation, which gives them their signature flavor and texture. They can be enjoyed as a standalone snack or used as a condiment in sandwiches or burgers. The pickling process was originally used as a means of preserving cucumbers beyond their growing season, but has now become a beloved snack worldwide due to its unique taste and numerous health benefits.

Instructions

1.Scrub the cucumbers well and dry them off.
2.In a large bowl, combine 16 cups of water with ¼ cup of kosher salt.
3.Add garlic cloves, coriander seeds, and black peppercorns to the bowl.
4.Place the cucumbers and dill in a large glass jar or crock.
5.Pour the saltwater mixture over the cucumbers until they are all covered.
6.Add 3 grape leaves (optional) to the jar to keep the pickles crisp.
7.Top the jar of cucumbers with half a pound of ice to prevent fermentation.
8.Cover the jar or crock with a lid or cheesecloth and let it sit at room temperature for 3-7 days depending on your preferred level of fermentation.
9.Once the pickles have fermented to your liking, store them in the fridge to slow down any further fermentation.
