How to Make Pop's Half Sour Pickles

  1. Scrub 1 pound of pickling cucumbers thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Pack whole cucumbers tightly into a clean 1-quart jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of water, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons pickling salt, and 1 tablespoon pickling spice.
  4. Stir the brine well and pour it over the cucumbers in the jar, ensuring they are completely submerged.
  5. Add more warm water, if needed, to fill the jar, leaving that 1/2 inch of headspace.
  6. Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate for 4-5 days for optimal flavor. Enjoy the crisp, tangy goodness!
