Mother's Dill Pickles in a Crock (Polish)

 John Kneski (Florida) says:
I tried this recipe last week and it went just fine. I used a 2 quart cracker jar with a lid instead of a crock, elephant garlic, a lot of dill, and kirby cucumbers. They tasted like my Polish grandfather's pickles. They also tasted better after a week.
