Steps
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly.
Wash the lemon thoroughly.
Arrange the cucumbers, lemon slices, garlic, and dill in a jar.
Pour the saltwater over until all the vegetables are completely covered.
Place a small weight on top to keep the cucumbers submerged in the liquid.
Close the jar loosely and leave it at room temperature, releasing gas once a day for 3-7 days (depending on the temperature), until the desired taste is achieved.
Transfer to the refrigerator, where the fermentation will slow and the pickles will keep for several weeks.
Notes
Tip: If small bubbles appear or the liquid becomes a little cloudy - this is usually a sign that natural fermentation is taking place, the white layer is not mold! The author notes: '(Mine are gone within a week on the kitchen counter, no need for a refrigerator)'
