Turkish Style Pickles (Salatalik Tursusu)

For a ½ gallon jar:
~2 lb pickling cucumbers
2 Tbsp salt
1 ½ -2 cups vinegar
1 head of garlic (10-15 cloves)
Filtered water

Wash the cucumbers and cut the stems off. Peel the garlic. Try to fit as many cucumbers as you can in a glass jar (1/2 gallon). Add the garlic cloves in between. Then, add salt and vinegar on top and fill all the way up with filtered water making sure the cucumbers are all immersed in water. Close the lid and shake it upside down to mix up the vinegar and salt.
Store in a dark and cool place up to 7-10 days. Depending on the storage temperature, the pickles would be ready to eat by then. Refrigerate after opening the jar.
ENJOY
