Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of sea salt, stirring until the salt is fully dissolved; this should take about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Thoroughly wash your pickling cucumbers and trim off the blossom end. Slice them into rounds or spears, set aside.
  3. Take a clean quart-sized jar and pack the cucumber slices tightly. Layer in 2 teaspoons of pickling spice, bay leaves, fresh dill, and crushed garlic among the cucumber slices.
  4. Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into a measuring cup, and add the prepared saltwater brine to it. Mix until fully combined and pour over the cucumbers, ensuring they are submerged.
  5. Place a fermentation weight or a small bowl inside the jar to keep cucumbers submerged in the brine.
  6. Seal the jar tightly with a lid and refrigerate for at least 24 hours for full flavor absorption.
  7. After 24 hours, your Refrigerator Dill Pickles are ready to enjoy! Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks.
