Boil syrup and pour over cukes. Leave 24 hour
Day 5
Drain syrup, reboil syrup, cool a bit and pour on cukes, and leave for 24 hours, each day for next 3 days.
I put a weight on the cukes during the process to make sure the cukes are submerged in the water or syrup.
I leave the pickles in the crock but you can bottle them after the 3 days or when ever you have time
