How to Make Saltwater Pickles With Dill

  1. Combine water, salt, sugar, and dill in a large pot. Bring to a boil, stirring until salt and sugar are completely dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and let the brine cool completely. This is crucial to prevent the pickles from becoming mushy.
  3. While the brine cools, slice the rye bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. You can use any type of rye bread you prefer.
  4. Pack the rye bread slices tightly into clean, sterilized jars, leaving about 1 inch of headspace at the top.
  5. Carefully pour the cooled brine over the rye bread slices, ensuring all the slices are fully submerged. Again, leaving that inch of headspace.
  6. Add a few more dill sprigs to each jar, for extra flavour.
  7. Seal the jars tightly. Store them in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, or longer for a more intense flavor. The longer they sit, the more the bread will absorb the brine's flavor.
  8. Before serving, check for any mold. If you see mold, discard immediately. Otherwise, enjoy your delicious homemade saltwater rye bread pickles!
