Make more brine if necessary. Let stand for three days, stirring well each day. I use a covered pail for this step rather than the large bowl.", "Drain well.", "Cover drained vegetables with the ""Second Brine Step""--cold water to cover. Let stand 3 days, stirring each day.", "Drain well.", "Third Brine Step--Bring all 4 ingredients to a boil, stirring frequently. Add vegetables. Return to just the boiling point.
