"Get a clean two or three gallon plastic bucket with a lid. Put in one gallon of water with a cup of canning salt. Add two to three pounds of small pickling cucumbers. Throw in a bunch of fresh dill and a couple of whole bulbs of garlic with the cloves crushed and cut up. Add two or three bay leaves, place a plate on top of this to keep pickles submerged. Add lid and that's it. Leave at room temperature for 5 to 7 days and enjoy. My Grandma's Brine Pickles!!! My grandmother used a crock for hers but any container will work!!"
