  • place plate over cukes, weight it down, the solution should cover the cukes by about two inches
  • cover crock with clean cloth and store at room temp for 4-5 days, skimming any foam that may form on the surface
  • look for fermentation bubbles rising to the surface after 2-3 days
  • when the bubbles stop and the cukes have turned pale green (in 4-6 days), give 'em a try
  • if done, cover the container and put in the ice box, where they should be good for 3-5 weeks
