Pour over pickles. On day 7 drain syrup and reheat with the spice bag and pour the syrup including the spice bag over pickles. On day 8 drain syrup and reheat. Pour back over pickles and seal in jars (Doesn't matter if sealed, as they will keep) |

Personal
Notes: If it takes longer than 4 days for cucumbers to become clear this will push all other steps back. These are very similar to the Nine Day Pickles Mom used to make.
