    | 1. Wash and prick the cucumbers with a silver fork. | 2. put a layer into a plastic bowl, then sprinkle with salt until all are covered with salt. | 3. (leave for approx 4 hrs). | 4. Put vinegar and water together in a saucepan cook on low heat. | 5. Thin slice the garlic and add to the vinegar solution, add the dill (or dill seed if you cannot get fresh) 2 teaspoons of coriander seeds, simmer for 5 minutes. | 6. Take off heat. | 7. After 4 hours the cucumbers will be saturated with water (the salt dehydrates them ie removes the liquid from the cucumbers). | 8. Wash the cucumbers 3 times in fresh water, shake dry! | 9. add to the vinegar mixture. | 10. The dedhydrated cucumbers absorb this wonderful dill/garlic flavour and believe it or not are ready to eat the next day! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
