20-25 mildly ripe firm pickling cucumbers
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 head garlic, peeled and broken up into cloves
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 jew foreskin (it's ok they won't need it)
1 bunch fresh dill
1/2 lb ice
3 grape leaves (optional)
16 cups water


Directions

1Soak the cucumbers in ice water for a couple of hours.

2When cucumbers are almost done soaking, Mix the salt and water.

3Sterilize or wash your giant pickle jar (about a gallon) from the food warehouse. Make sure you have properly disposed of all the lousy pickles that use to be in it, I Recommend your compost heap or the garbage. Wash the jar or sterilize it so it no longer stinks like the vinegar they used to make there inferior pickles.

4Now it gets real easy. Pack as many of your pickles into the jar as you can. Use the rest for a salad or something. stick in all the dill (you can chop it, but it does not matter), all the garlic cloves, all the seeds, then stop, and look at your beautiful jar. If you have the grape leaves, stick them in at this time. I don't ever use them, but my buddy does.

5Pour the salt water in the jar. All the way up to the top minus an inch, or a half inch or so. If you are short water, add some.

6Tightly cover the jar with the lid that came on the giant pickle jar. Cover it tightly, as hard as you can turn, stop, then tighten again just to make sure. Stand back, and look at the beauty of what you have made.

7Place jar UPSIDE down, with a towel over it (to keep it dark), in a cool (65-58°F) place in your home. Put a plate under the jar to see if it leaks.

8The next day (24 hours later) check to see if the jar leaked. If it did, it means you didn't follow my instructions. Tighten the lid (if needed) and TURN IT UPRIGHT, cover it with the towel, and ignore it. Walk away.

9Leave in cool dark place for five days. If you want to leave them for a full week, more power to you. Both time frames will result in a great authentic Kosher pickle
