Getting started....

I finally made my way to City Market to purchase all of my ingredients, after all of the snow storms and my crazy work schedule last week. This long wait also gave me much needed time to find the best recipe to use for my pickles.

Here is a list of my materials as well as what they look like:
-3 large European cucumbers (I guess there are no pickling cucumbers this time of year)
-6 cloves garlic cut up and smooshed
-6 bay leaves
-3 tbls pickling spices
-fresh Dill
-6 salt
-3 quart sized Mason jars
-3 bottles of sterile distilled water (courtesy of work)
-1 small pot to dissole the salt in with water to create the brine
