I am making Pickles for the first time. The In-Laws grow Dill, Garlic, Cucumbers and we got a load in abundance.

So I found a recipe for Crunchy dills in a crock.

Pickling Salt
Distilled Water
Peppercorns
Fresh Dill and Dill Pods
Garlic Cloves


So, I am to put the herbs and spices on the bottom of the crock, put the cukes on top of that, then add the water and salt mixture.

It then says wait 3 days, keeping the crock in a cool, shady place.

On the 3rd day, I am to skim off any foam or slime that forms, and do this every day for 7 days.

It then says to cover them and toss them in the fridge.


Does this sound like an appropriate recipie?

I ask because it's day 4 now, and I've tried a pickle, and it tastes just like a cucumber.
