                With 
                the side of the knife swat the garlic clove slightly.This releases 
                the flavor and loosens the skin so you can peel it easy

              Add the fresh 
              vegetables, dill , corriander, or the spices of your choice 
                | 
          
           
              | 
            Add 
              1/2 cup distilled vinegar and enough water to cover, and place a 
              plate slightly less diameter in the bowl to weight the pickles down. | 
          
           
              
             | 
            Place 
              some kind of a weight on the plate. I have used a glass measuring 
              cup with water in it.  
              Now you can test the pickles in a few hours for flavor, and daily 
              until they become "pickly" enough for you. Place in a 
              glass jar and store in the refrigerator.  
              They will keep at least 6 months.  |
