Wash the cucumber and slice to desired thickness, 1/8-1/4 of an inch. using a clean mason jar, place a layer of cucumbers along with the garlic in the bottom of the jar and sprinkle with dill. Continue layering until you reach the top leaving 2 inches of headspace. Cover vegetables with the brine again, leaving a 1-2 inch headspace. Place weight on top of vegetables being sure they are completely submerged into the brine. We don\'t want any of the vegetables surfacing and becoming exposed to the air. Place your lid on top and fasten tightly. Place your jar of pickles in a cool, dry, and dark place and allow to ferment for 5-7 days. Periodically check your jar making sure it\'s not leaking any water. If this happens simply remove the lid and drain some of the liquid out working quickly as to allow as little oxygen as possible into the jar. Refasten your lid and continue to fermentation process. *If a layer of white appears on top of your vegetables, do not be alarmed. Simply, skim off and discard and continue the fermentation process. If green or black mold appears, do not consume, discard, and start over. Once pickles are ready, remove the fermentation lid and weight, place a regular lid on the jar, and store in the fridge for several weeks. Enjoy on sandwiches, salads, and side dishes.'
