Directions:
Rinse pickles, put 2 dill sprigs on top. Now add the brine to cover, put the lid on, keep at room temperature for six days. Pickles must work in jars, they won't spoil. Store in cool dark place, ready to use in 8 weeks.

NOTE: Factory scrub, never soak cucumbers in water. They fill with water and can't soak up the brine. This is the reason for most failures in pickle making.
