POLISH DILL PICKLES (OGóRKI KISZONE)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place mustard seeds , 1 clove garlic, and dill in a sterilized 1-quart jar. Tightly pack pickling cucumbers in jar, positioning the last one horizontally to help keep cucumbers below brine. Top with remaining garlic clove.
• Dissolve salt in bottled water.
• Fill jar with saltwater to within 1/4 inch from the top. Cover jar loosely with a sterilized cap and keep in a cool, dark place (55 F to 60 F) like the basement. The jars must not be closed too tightly because as fermentation takes place, the accumulated carbon dioxide must be able to escape. Some oozing of brine is unavoidable, so place jar on a plate or tray and store in a place where seepage won't be a problem.
• Fermentation typically takes five to six weeks. When fermentation is complete, tighten lids. If lids are tightened too early, trapped carbon dioxide will make pickles mushy; if lids are not tightened after fermentation, spoilage can occur.
• Once opened, place pickles in refrigerator, where they will last four to six months. Source: Adapted from a recipe by Marcin Filutowicz, professor of bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
