Half Sour Pickles

I started a batch of half sour pickles. It was my mother's recipe from fourty years ago. They were always a great success. Here is the recipe:

3 lbs. pickling cukes

1/2 cup kosher salt. disolve in 4 cups of warm water. pour over cukes in jar.

2 Tbsp. pickling spices. Put in jar with cukes.

1/2 dozen garlic cloves split in half. Throw in jar.

2 to 3 strands of dill.

Back in the old days we left the jar on the counter and in a week or two they were ready to eat. They would get a little scummy on top but we would skim off the scum. (LOL) This batch I put in the frig. Nothing is happening. So I think I have to let the bacteria or scum happen. So back out on the counter they go. We'll see what happens.
