Crock Pickles

1 gallon water

1 cup cider vinegar

½ cup salt

Layer sprigs of fresh dill and washed cucumbers until container is half-full, finishing with a double layer of dill.

Bring water, vinegar and salt to a boil and pour over the cucumbers and dill.  Place a dinner plate on top of the top layer and weight it down to the cucumbers are submerged.  Place in a dark area.  Pickles will be ready in 24 hours, and will last several weeks.

I often use a clean 5 gallon paint bucket
